The NCB had started probing the drugs angle after the Enforcement Directorate had during the course of its money-laundering investigation revealed that there was an exchange of WhatsApp messages on drug procurement.The Enforcement Directorate had shared with the NCB chat messages of Sushant's former girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant's former talent manager Jayanti Saha and the deceased actor's staff members Dipesh Sawant, Samuel Miranda and others.The NCB has registered two different FIRs -- one to investigate the drug angle into Sushant's death case and the other into the Bollywood-drug cartel nexus.
