The move comes a day after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) wrote to the NCB to look into the drug angle in the case.
Earlier, Rhea's lawyer Satish Maneshinde had released a statement on the new drug angle. It read, "Rhea has never consumed drugs in her lifetime ever. She’s ready for a blood test at any time."
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Rhea’s ‘drug circle’ is booked under NDPS Act. The Whatsapp chats of Rhea recovered allegedly indicate that she was taking instructions from someone to administer a drug to the late actor.
The ED registered a case of money laundering on July 31 on the basis of a Bihar Police FIR filed by Sushant's father KK Singh who alleged transactions of Rs 15 crore with some bank accounts with which Sushant had no connection.
Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty snapped outside the ED office.
The ED has already recorded the statement of Rhea, her father Indrajit, brother Showik, Shruti Modi, Samuel Miranda, Siddharth Pithani, personal staff, accountant Rajat Mewati, Sushant's Chartered Accountant Sandeep Sridhar, and Rhea's CA Ritesh Shah.
The ED has also recorded the statement of Sushant's father and sisters Priyanka and Meetu.
