Narcotics Control Bureau may put out summons to these actors later this week in connection with a case registered by the federal agency based on alleged WhatsApp messages retrieved from Rhea Chakraborty's mobile phone. The agency had registered a second case based on 59 grams of marijuana seized from alleged drug dealers. Besides Rhea Chakraborty, the others arrested earlier this month were her brother Showik Chakraborty, two employees of Sushant Singh Rajput and alleged drug dealers who have been linked to Bollywood.

"During the preliminary investigation in the first case registered based on the retrieved WhatsApp messages of Rhea Chakraborty, few other actors name have come up including Sara Ali Khan and Shradda Kapoor. Both will be asked to join the investigation this week, summons will be issued soon," an officer involved in the investigation told.
The agency has summoned Sushant's manager Shruti Modi and former talent manager Jaya Saha in the same case.
Sushant Singh Rajput, a rising Bollywood star, was found dead at his Mumbai home on June 14. What began as a suicide investigation became a larger probe by the CBI after the actor's family accused his last girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty of exploiting him for money, medicating him and playing a role in his death.
The drugs inquiry started after WhatsApp chats on Rhea Chakraborty's phone revealed conversations on buying drugs for the actor.
Rhea Chakraborty, a 28-year-old former Veejay, model and actor, was described as "an active member of a drug syndicate" by the Narcotics Control Bureau in documents to court after her arrest.
