On Monday, late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's live-in partner, Rhea Chakraborty, arrived at the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) office for a second round of questioning by the agency on the alleged 'drug link' related to the actor's death.

According to a Times Now report, the 28-year-old was asked by the agency to appear before it by 10 am. Clad in a pink and black hoodie, Chakraborty was seen entering the NCB office.

Earlier on Sunday, the model-turned-actress was interrogated by the agency for 6 straight hours. The agency has said that once Rhea deposes, it wants to confront her with her younger brother Showik Chakraborty, Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda and his house staff Dipesh Sawant to ascertain their roles in this alleged drug racket after it obtained mobile phone chat records and other electronic data that suggested some banned drugs were allegedly procured by them.


Meanwhile, the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC), which is investigating the 45-minute mortuary access to given to Rhea, sought a detailed report from Cooper Hospital over the actress' entry into the hospital.


Earlier, the SHRC had taken objection over Rhea's entry into the mortuary and had issued notices to Cooper hospital and the Mumbai Police. The Cooper Hospital has clarified that they didn't give Rajput's girlfriend the permission to enter the mortuary, Times Now reported.

In another development on Monday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is also investigating the case, grilled Rohini Iyer, Rajput's ex-manager and friend, and a film PR honcho herself. Iyer was quizzed by the CBI on the 'blind items' which had been published against the late actor.


Various angles surrounding the death of the 34-year-old actor are being probed by the three central agencies, including the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the CBI.

The NCB initiated a drug angle probe in this case after the ED shared with it a report following the cloning of two mobile phones of Rhea.

Rajput was found dead at his flat in the suburban Bandra area on June 14.
