They further claimed, “Her statement was also recorded in case crime number 15/2020, in which she dwelled into other aspects, where violations of provisions of NDPS were noted. The digital forensics of seized communication devices led to some workable information which was verified subsequently.”  

Giving out the information about the drug peddlers, NCB said, “Zaid disclosed that he runs an eatery shop at Bandra, which was not giving any pecuniary gains since lockdown. He also disclosed that he is into drug peddling, especially bud, through which he used to earn a substantial amount of money. Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant used to collect the said contraband and provided it to Sushant Singh Rajput after making joints. Rhea Chakraborty was arrested after her voluntary statement. Meanwhile, Kaizan was apprehended wherein he stated that he used to procure drugs from one Anuj Keshwani,” said the agency.
