Rhea wore a message on the third day of interrogation before being arrested.

The fact that some famous figures consume marijuana or procure drugs into Bollywood parties is not something surprising but this is the very first time when such a number of Bollywood actors and producers were brought to face the legal system.

According to reports, NCB will summon 25 Bollywood celebrities involved in the drug case in the next 10 to 15 days. They are named by either Showik Chakraborty or Rhea Chakraborty during the interrogation.

The NCB deputy DG Mutha Ashok Jain even said that the authority is looking for ‘big fish’ involved in the case. They will not spare the names of anyone during the investigation but we will soon know towards the end of this month.

Rhea Chakraborty was active in a drug syndicate

Before that, Rhea Chakraborty claimed Sushant smoked marijuana before she met him, on the set of Kedarnath. Rhea insisted that she tried to stop him but couldn’t.

Things turned out Rhea bought Sushant marijuana as NCB informed. With the help of Showik, Samuel Miranda, and Dipesh Sawant, Rhea arranged drugs for Sushant as well as managed finance for drug procurement. She remained actively connected to drug suppliers.

Paradoxically, a decade ago, Rhea used to post a Tweet of how shocked she was when reading about a young Indian girl jailed for narcotics trafficking. Netizens are retweeting the post, calling her a prophet for predicting her own future.
