Three popular Bollywood actresses were questioned on Saturday in a drugs investigation that has sent shock waves through India’s film industry, already hurt by Covid-19 lockdowns.
Officials from the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) have been investigating alleged drug use in Bollywood for the last month in connection with the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, a popular actor who was found dead at his residence in June.
The investigation aims at finding whether there is a nexus between the film industry and the drug trade, a law enforcement official told Reuters.
Actresses Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan were seen on television walking into the NCB offices in Mumbai for questioning.
Padukone, Khan and Kapoor were not immediately available for comment. Officials at NCB’s Mumbai offices did not respond to Reuters requests for comments.
