- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,September 29 2020]
Deepika Padukone was interrogated by the Narcotics Control Bureau sleuths on Saturday for up to six hours. News about the investigation is trickling in slowly.
The 'Padmaavat' actress' WhatsApp chats from 2017 have been looked into by the anti-drugs agency. The Bollywood actress, says a Times Now report, had admitted to the 'drug chats' with her manager Karishma Prakash.
The 'Chennai Express' diva used the words 'maal' and 'hash' in the chats. It's because she used these words in the chats and that has been questioned.
Deepika, during the questioning, reportedly denied consuming drugs. Then why did she use the word 'maal'? By ‘maal’, she said, she meant cigarette. Maal is a code word for cigarette, the national media has quoted the star actress as saying.
The sleuths are not satisfied with her answers. They seized her mobile phone for further investigation. The mobile phones of Rakul Preet Singh, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan, too, were seized.
