In the aftermath of the CBI investigation and the NCB probe in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, many murky revelations are coming to the fore. The drug angle in the case has also let out many Bollywood secrets.

In a series of WhatsApp chats accessed by India Today, Rhea Chakraborty's brother Showik Chakraborty is seen talking to an alleged drug peddler. In the chats, Showik is seen talking to him about buying drugs from the dealer. The chat also has the mention of Zaid Bilatra, a 20-year-old drug-peddler who the Narcotics Control Bureau nabbed on Tuesday, 1 September, ‘20.  

After Zaid was apprehended, his CDR reports were accessed which revealed he was in constant touch with 23-year-old Bandra based Basit Parihar and Suryadeep Malhotra and both of them have connections with Showik Chakraborty.  

In the chats from October 2019, Showik is asked for a favour by an acquaintance to arrange some hash for him. Showik says his dealer isn't available. He said that he has asked few friends for other numbers. 

 Shwoik's texts read, ‘If you are not in any urgency I can sort you tomorrow for sure for hash’ and added, ‘weed im sending you the numbers [of dealers]’.
