However, the probe also highlighted that there may be a drug angle to the entire case drugs. Amid this, Rhea Chakraborty’s lawyer Satish Maneshende and also some of the actors who were questioned recently by the NCB have allegedly spoken about Sushant using drugs while washing hands off this themselves. Shekhar Suman has expressed his displeasure at this.

Shekhar Suman slams stars over Sushant case

Without taking names, Shekhar Suman wrote that the actors being probed by the NCB in the drug case were ‘tarnishing’ Sushant's name by calling him a ‘drug addict.’ The actor claimed that they were ‘attacking his character.’ He termed it as ‘unfair and inhuman’ since a ‘dead man cannot defend himself’, as he sought ‘#Sushant Justice Now.’

Shekhar has been one of the major names to raise his voice about the loopholes in the Sushant Singh Rajput right from the beginning, not mincing his words in calling it a  ‘murder.’ Recently, he had taken a dig at the stars being questioned, quipping that they were called for ‘joint questioning’ and that no one had got a inkling (kwan-o-kwan khabar) with the talent management  agency KWAN also coming under the radar in the probe.

Apart from Rhea Chakraborty's arrest and questioning of Shraddha Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Sara Ali Khan, the other named to be questioned include Rakul Preet Singh, Madhu Mantena and Simone Khambatta. An executive producer and director Kshitij Prasad has also been arrested, amid information that 'bigger names' could be summoned in the next phase of the investigation.
