On Tuesday, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided the residence of Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash. According to reports, investigation officers have apparently seized 1.7 grams of charas and at least two bottles of cannabis (CBD) oil from Karishma’s residence.

During the time of the raid, Karisha was not at her residence, and the search was carried out in the presence of her acquaintances. After seizing drugs, investigation officers tried to call Karishma, but her phone was switched off.

“Prakash’s name cropped up during the questioning of one of the paddlers arrested by us in the case in which we are looking to bust drug networks around Bollywood, Based on the information, we raided her residence today. We found 1.7 grams of charas and at least two bottles of CBD oil. We have called her for questioning tomorrow to NCB, however, her phone has been switched off and we do not know where she is,” said an NCB official.

This is not the first time that the names of Deepika Padukone and Karishma Prakash have popped up in the drug racket case. Following the leakage of a Whatsapp chat, Deepika and Karishma were summoned by the NCB last month.

While recording her statement, Deepika had claimed that she was not discussing narcotics, but was using code words for cigarettes.

It was after the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput that the NCB started their attempt to demolish the narcotics mafia in Bollywood. As of now, the investigation team has arrested 24 people including actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, and brother-in-law of actor Arjun Rampal.

After 19 hours of grilling, Rhea Chakraborty has been arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau on Tuesday in the drugs case. The 28-year-old actor, named as prime accused in the CBI investigation into Sushant’s death, will be taken for a medical test next at 4pm as part of the formalities.

On day three of her interrogation by the NCB, Rhea Chakraborty admitted she was consuming not just marijuana, but also had drugs.

The actor had earlier admitted ‘procuring drugs’ along with her brother Showik, who has been arrested by NCB. This is another major disclosure made by her, apart from reportedly taking the names of Bollywood stars who were also consuming drugs.

Sushant’s sister Shweta Singh Kirti was among the first ones to react to the news on Twitter. She wrote, “ God is with us”.
