Sapna Pabbi, Sushant Singh Rajput’s ‘Drive’ co-actor, denies report of leaving country after NCB summons

Actor Sapna Pabbi, who was summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), dismissed on Friday the reports that she left the country. The NCB is probing a possible drug angle related to the death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. 

After some reports said that Pabbi’s came up during the interrogation of Arjun Rampal’s girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades’ brother Agisilaos, who was arrested by the NCB recently, PTI reported. Denying the reports, Pabbi in a statement on Instagram said that she is visiting her family in London, adding that the concerned authorities are aware of it. 

The ‘Khamoshiyan’ actor and Rajput’s co-actor in ‘Drive’ wrote, “I am saddened to see speculative media reports in India about me being untraceable or missing. I have been back at home in London to be with my family and as such my lawyers have already communicated this with the authorities in India who are fully aware of my whereabouts.”

The investigation into the alleged drug angle linked to Rajput’s death after he was found dead at his Bandra apartment on June 14. Currently, three investigation agencies, the NCB, the Enforcement Directorate, and the Central Bureau of Investigation are probing the death case of Rajput. 

The NCB had arrested Rajput’s girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty in September in connection with the drug trial in the ‘Chhichore’ actor’s death case. She was released on October 7 after 28 days in jail. Her brother Showik Chakraborty is still in the prison.

The NCB has recorded statements of Bollywood actors Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh.
