Mumbai: Sushant Singh Rajput’s death case is getting murkier by the day and there are no doubts about the same. While there have been speculations about a foul play in the case since the beginning the introduction of illegal drug angle has given the investigation a new direction. In fact, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) also jumped into action and has been probing the drugs angle in the case while interrogating main accused Rhea Chakraborty’s brother Showik Chakraborty and Samuel Miranda.

While the NCB team arrested Showik and Samuel lately after finding substantial evidence, it was reported that the duo was presented before the court today wherein the team had sought a seven day custody for them.

The court has also sent Kaizen Ibrahim to a 14 day judicial custody. Meanwhile, as a per Times Now, NCB’s remand copy of Showik claims that he is a part of an active drug syndicate. “High profile persons are a part of that syndicate.

Clearly, there are several angles in this case. The family (of Sushant Singh Rajput) hopes that more angles will come out,” he added.
