‘Don’t play emotional card’ NCB tells Deepika Padukone after she breaks down thrice during a drug probe.
Deepika Padukone during her interrogation had admitted to being part of the famous WhatsApp group, where ‘D’ asked ‘K’ about ‘maal’.
Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone was questioned on Saturday for five hours by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) probing the alleged Bollywood-drug nexus linked to film star Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case.
According to reports, Deepika broke down thrice during the interrogation. However, she was asked by the agency to not play the “emotional card”.
Deepika Padukone during her interrogation had admitted to being part of the famous WhatsApp group, where ‘D’ asked ‘K’ about ‘maal’. She was probed along with her manager Karishma Prakash. We had received information that Deepika accepted being part of the group but has so far maintained silence on the drugs issue. The information came a day after Karishma reportedly accepted Deepika was the admin of the group.
The actress was confronted about the alleged drug chats with Karishma Prakash, her manager. It also further reported that Deepika has allegedly accepted the drug chats. The report by the news channel shared the updates regarding Deepika’s questioning by the NCB 5 member team that was headed by Deputy Director, KPS Malhotra. It further reported that Deepika was allegedly asked to keep her phone away during the probe.
Deepika was apparently confronted about her alleged drug chats with manager Karishma Prakash by the NCB officials amid a probe. Reportedly, the chats that were in question dated back to 2017, and in the same, Deepika was being allegedly speaking to Karishma about ‘hash, weed, and maal.’ Karishma Prakash too is present at the NCB Office for her questioning. She has been called in for the second day of questioning today. Earlier, the NCB team questioning Deepika apparently includes women officers as well.
Deepika was in Goa when she was served a summon from NCB for the probe. The actress was present in Goa for the shooting of her next film with Shakun Batra. However, post getting the summon, Deepika chartered a flight to Mumbai with Ranveer Singh and returned to the city. On Saturday morning, Deepika arrived at 10 AM at the NCB office for questioning by the NCB officials. When her questioning began, Deepika was explained details of the NDPS Act 1985 by the officials.
