The Enforcement Directorate (ED) was investigating Sushant Singh Rajput’s finances. The ED then contacted the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) and told them that during the finance investigation, they found that Sushant and Rhea Chakraborty were buying drugs. The ED also found WhatsApp chats on Rhea’s phone which showed that she was in touch with drug dealers and was talking about marijuana and MDMA. According to sources, Rhea was giving Sushant CBD oil. It is a type of oil made from the Hemp plant which is in the same family as the marijuana plant. Unlike normal weed, CBD oil does not give a high but is used to treat pain, stress, depression and also arthritis. One of the whatsapp chats found was from a girl named Jaya Saha on 25th November 2019. The message said, “ Use 4 drops of CBD oil in Coffee, tea or water and let him sip it. Give it 30-40 minutes to kick in.” 

The NCB has now registered a case regarding the death of Sushant Singh Rajput and they will investigate the illegal purchase of such drugs. Rhea’s lawyer released a statement saying she has never consumed drugs in her life and is ready for a blood test any time. Sushant Singh Rajput’s friend Ankit Acharya said, “I have never seen Sushant taking drugs when I was with him. He was very much concerned about his health,” Reacting to the drugs angle, Sushant Singh Rajput’s family lawyer, Vikas Singh said, “We had said in the FIR that Sushant was being over drugged but what we meant then was prescription drugs. But now we know he was given hard drugs. This has got the narcotics angle as well, definitely proves abetment to suicide more convincingly; it is definitely a step in that direction to prove abetment to suicide or even murder.”
