Since then the NCB has been investigating the drugs angle and several Bollywood celebrities have also been questioned by the investigating agency. Many, including Sushant Singh Rajput's girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik, have been charged in the drugs case that emerged as part of the investigations into Sushant Rajput's death.
