NCB On The Lookout For Deepika Padukone's Manager Karishma Prakash After Recovering Drugs From Her Residence

The Narcotics Control Bureau continues to probe leads in the drug case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s death. Actress Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash’s residence was raided in connection with the case by the central agency on Tuesday.

The NCB claims to have recovered charas and cannabis oil from her home. Indian Express reports an NCB official stating, “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.” 

Prakash has now been summoned by the NCB but according to officials they have not been able to reach her as her phone is switched off and she was not present at her residence at the time of the raid which was conducted in the presence of her acquaintances.

Both Karishma and Deepika Padukone were called in for questioning by the NCB after their names cropped up in a WhatsApp chat where drugs were discussed with Sushant Singh Rajput’s former manager Jaya Saha.

The NCB apparently has not found any evidence yet to link Deepika to the matter.
