The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Tuesday raided actor Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash’s residence in Mumbai. The NCB has seized nearly 1.8 gms of Hashish from her residence. Prakash was summoned by the central investigative agency earlier.
In a chat, Deepika was seen asking her manager for ‘maal’ and ‘hash,’ to which the latter had replied that she has it home. As per sources, the NCB had even confronted the Bollywood actor with the chat which is believed to be from 2017.
The chats had emerged as a part of a group called ‘DP+Ka+KWAN’, where Deepika Padukone was the admin. The group was formed by Jaya Saha and its admins were Deepika Padukone and Karishma Prakash. Other members include Vijay Subramaniam, Anirban Das, Producer Madhu Mantena, KWAN CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar among many others.
In a similar case, notable Bollywood actors Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet were also summoned by the NCB as they investigated the Bollywood drug nexus. Actors Abigail Pande and Sanam Johar too were booked by the NCB after finding narcotics at their residence. The nexus had exploded after NCB found evidence against Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty for allegedly procuring drugs
