'Never Consumed Any Narcotic In My Life', Says Dia Mirza After Her Name Emerges In Drugs Probe

Bollywood actress Dia Mirza issued a statement on social media to refute all the allegations that she procured drugs in 2019.

New Delhi: Bollywood actress Dia Mirza took to social media to clarify that she has never consumed or procured drugs of any form in her life. She slammed the news and issued a statement after her name emerged in the drugs scandal, which has been highlighted post NCB's investigation in Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. The 'Sanju' actress denied all the allegations against her and thanked the supporters for extending support. According to the NCB sources, Mirza’s name cropped after drug peddler Anuj Keshwani mentioned the ‘Thappad’ actress during the interrogation. The drugs law enforcement agency is likely to summon the actress for questioning in connection with the probe. "I would like to strongly refute and categorically deny this news as being false, baseless and with mala fide intentions. Such frivolous reporting has a direct impact on my reputation being besmirched and is causing damage to my career which I have painstakingly built with years of hard work. I have never procured or consumed any narcotic or contraband substances of any form in my life. I intend to pursue the full extent of legal remedies available to me as a law abiding citizen of India. Thanks to my supporters for standing by me," Dia said in a statement on Instagram and Twitter.

According to NCB sources, the 'Dus' actress' manager was Anuj Keshwani’s girlfriend and she used to supply the drugs to the Bollywood diva. Dia Mirza's name has been mentioned in FIR no. 16/20. The NCB has also issued summons to Deepika Padukone’s manager Karishma Prakash and Dhruv Chitgopekar, CEO of the Kwan, for questioning. The 'Chhapaak' actress, currently busy shooting for her upcoming film, is also likely to be summoned for interrogation. Deepika's name came to the fore after her WhatsApp chat with her manger Karishma surfaced during the investigation. In the chats, the 'Padmaavat' actress and Karishma allegedly talked about drugs.
