On July 12, 2022, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) produced a draft of the charges filed against the accused in the drug case linked to actor, Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The draft claimed that Rhea Chakraborty had received multiple deliveries of ganja from the other accused people, including her brother, Showik, and she had later handed it over to Sushant. It added that all the accused had conspired with each other and were in contact with drug peddlers to procure, buy, sell and distribute drugs in high-end societies and Bollywood.
