Rhea Chakraborty, questioned for a second straight day today over drug abuse allegations in the Sushant Singh Rajput case, made an emotional declaration according to sources, telling the Narcotics Control Bureau - "Whatever I did, I did for Sushant".
Ms Chakraborty, 28, who has been accused of involvement in the death of Mr Rajput, 34, on June 14, is being questioned after the NCB arrested her brother, Showik Chakraborty, and charged him under sections of the anti-narcotics law.
Ms Chakraborty was confronted with her brother during today's questioning, which started around 9.30 AM and lasted for several hours.
NCB sources said the actor firmly denied all charges of consumption of drugs. The source also said, however, that she was evasive on certain questions.
The Narcotics Control Bureau claims to have evidence linking Showik Chakraborty and Samuel Miranda (Mr Rajput's house manager) to the purchase of marijuana.
The NCB has claimed that Dipesh Sawant (a member of Mr Rajput's domestic staff) collected and delivered a total of 165 grams of marijuana between March and June - on orders from Rhea and Showik Chakraborty. Sawant also told the NCB he saw Mr Rajput smoke marijuana in September 2018.
However, no drugs have been recovered from Mr Chakraborty, so far, and the NCB case hinges on the seizure of 59 grams of curated marijuana from two alleged drug peddlers and their purported links to Mr Rajput.
Rhea Chakraborty has been questioned for two straight days and has been summoned tomorrow as well
The NCB registered an interest in this case after WhatsApp chats between Ms Chakraborty and a contact believed to be Samuel Miranda - about procuring drugs - was red-flagged by the Enforcement Directorate.
The ED is probing allegations that Ms Chakraborty illegally transferred crores from Mr Rajput's Mumbai bank accounts. No evidence of money laundering has been found so far.
