Before entering the vehicle with NCB officials, Rhea waved at mediapersons at the anti-drug agency’s office in south Mumbai.
Clad in black, Rhea reached the NCB office at Ballard Estate around 10.30 am Tuesday. She was also seen carrying a bag with her, while entering the office.
The 28-year-old girlfriend of Rajput had in recent TV interviews denied that she consumed drugs. Rhea was also recently interrogated by the CBI probe team and also questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a money laundering case.
NCB recently arrested her brother Showik Chakraborty and Sushant’s manager Samuel Miranda on drug supply charges.
Rajput’s father had filed an FIR against Rhea in Patna, accusing her of driving his son to suicide and misappropriating his money. Rhea has denied the allegations on several occasions.
