New WhatsApp messages, accessed by a news channel, allegedly reveal actor Rhea Chakraborty’s conversations about buying drugs. Times Now claims to have accessed hundreds of messages between Rhea and other members of Sushant Singh Rajput’s staff.In a January 2020 exchange, Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda texted Rhea, “Hi, can you give Dipesh Rs 17,000 for 2 bags of weed? 1 for us & another for him & he will transfer it to us,” to which she replied, “Ya, we could.”In April 2020, Dipesh texted Rhea, “Getting green for Rs 5K, 1 bag.” Rhea also asked Dipesh, “We currently have hash, right?” Dipesh is also reported to have texted Rhea, “One of my friends called me said his Peddy is gonna deliver it her in Bandra it is the same stuff we get from our ped.” Rhea texted, “Don’t get for now.”
The ED during its investigation found evidence of a drug angle to the case, following which the Narcotics Control Bureau launched its own investigation. Rhea’s lawyer has dismissed the reports. “Rhea has never consumed drugs in her life ever. She is ready for a blood test,” he said in a statement. Earlier, Sushant Singh Rajput’s friend and flatmate Siddharth Pithani has told the Central Bureau of Investigation that eight hard drives were destroyed on June 8, before the actor’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty left the house. Sushant died on June 14, and his family has accused Rhea of abetting his suicide. The Narcotics Control Bureau is the latest agency to be drawn into the case which is already being investigated by the CBI and the Enforcement Directorate.
