It may be recalled that during the investigation into the suicide of Shashant Singh Rajput, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) got details of drug use from the WhatsApp chat of the late actor's girlfriend Riya Chakraborty, after which the NCB Was also included in the case.
Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide case is currently being investigated by three central agencies in India. The CBI is looking into the reasons for the suicide in the case while the Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating money laundering and the NCB is investigating drug use in Bollywood.
