The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has been investigating use of drugs in Bollywood and as part of the probe, the agency questioned late actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s talent manager Jaya Saha. Sources said a few names cropped up in WhatsApp conversations purportedly discussing drugs. The drug law enforcement reportedly showed Jaya her WhatsApp chats, which had the initials of five celebrities – K, D, S, N, and J. Jaya reportedly told NCB that she ordered CBD oil for some celebrities. It was during this probe that Namrata Shirodkar’s name cropped up. However, the NCB has not confirmed Namrata’s name and no summons have been issued to the actor.

The NCB has so far arrested more than 12 people, including Rajput’s girlfriend and actress Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik, in connection with its probe linked to the case of the actor’s death.  Sushant Singh Rajput died on June 14 and was found dead at his home in Bandra, Mumbai.
