Several Bollywood celebrities, as well as Sushant's family and friends, have been questioned over his death. His former girlfriend and actress Rhea Chakraborty was also arrested by India's Narcotics Control Bureau for allegedly supplying the actor with drugs. However, in the absence of substantial evidence, she was later released by the court.
