In a shocking turn of events, Rhea Chakraborty has been arrested by  Narcotics Control Bureau in regards to drug angle in Sushant Singh Rajput death probe. The actress who was summoned by NCB for three consecutive days was finally arrested by the officers, days after they arrested her brother, Showik Chakraborty. The arrest probably came in after Rhea revealed that she had consumed drugs on Sushant Singh Rajput's behest. The drug probe angle was a major angle to unfold in his death case and Rhea's arrest is another crucial chapter to witness.

Earlier Sushant's father, KK Singh had filed an FIR against Rhea Chakraborty with Patna police for conspiracy and abetment to suicide. He had even accused her of poisoning his son. Though CBI found no substantial details or evidence that could link Rhea to the actor's death, NCB was able to arrest her for the procurement and consumption of drugs. Sushant Singh Rajput's Medication History Doesn't Offer Much Evidence That He Was Being Treated for Depression, Claim Medical Experts.
