The NCB has been on a raid spree since Saturday. It has conducted four raids in different parts of the city and detained four people.

Top Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, and Shraddha Kapoor have been summoned by the NCB in Sushant’s death case.

Sushant took his life on 14 June at his Mumbai flat, where he was found hanging from a ceiling fan. The case is being investigated by three federal agencies, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), and the Enforcement Directorate over the money laundering aspect
