A five-member NCB team is set to record the statement of Rhea on all angles and points where the statements of Showik, Samuel Miranda and Dipesh Sawant did not match. A list of 28 drug peddlers have been prepared on the basis of the data search collected from the previous arrested. She is likely to be questioned on the line of her alleged supply of banned drugs to other individuals.    

NCB Deputy Director is also likely to be present during the questioning, though not as a member of the team. As per sources, Showik has admitted to NCB that he procured drugs on the instructions of Rhea. As per sources, the agency has evidence that drugs were being supplied to several high profile individuals and the agency is trying to pinpoint this drug distribution, sources said.

Meanwhile, the CBI is also probing the Sushant death case. On Sunday, Sushant’s manager Shruti Modi was called for questioning at the DRDO guest house, whereas on Sunday Sandip Ssingh was there as well.
