The Narcotics Control Bureau has issued summons to Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor and Rakul Preet Singh. The probe agency is currently investigating an alleged drugs link in Bollywood that surfaced following Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Deepika has been summoned on 25 September, while Shraddha and Sara on 26 September.

Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and fashion designer Simone Khambatta's names reportedly came up during the interrogation of Rhea Chakraborty, who was arrested by the NCB on charges of procuring drugs for her late partner Sushant Singh Rajput.

On the other hand, Deepika Padukone's name reportedly came up during the interrogation of Sushant's talent manager Jaya Saha, who is an employee of KWAN talent management company. Deepika Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash is also associated with KWAN. Karishma Prakash had also been summoned by the NCB, but she has sought an exemption on grounds of "ill health".

Some time back, Rakul Preet Singh filed a petition in the Delhi High Court against media trial. She claimed in her plea that Sushant's partner and actor Rhea Chakraborty had already retracted the statement in which she was allegedly named and yet the media reports were connecting her to the case.

Sushant Singh Rajput's death is currently being investigated by the CBI, ED and NCB.
