The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is interrogating Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former house-helps Neeraj And Keshav in the drugs case related to the actor's death. The two were summoned for questioning on Sunday and are being interrogated since 2.30 pm.

On Thursday, NCB arrested Creative Art Designer Siddharth Pithani in connection with the case. He was Sushant's flatmate. The NCB had issued three summons to Pithani, but he did not appear. Thereafter, they traced him to Hyderabad and found electronic evidence against him

According to the NCB, Pithani was in touch with several of the arrested accused in the case, including some drug peddlers. An officer said some WhatsApp chats had been recovered from Pithani, which would be crucial evidence in the case. Probe has revealed that even Pithani purchased drugs. They presented him in a Hyderabad court and took his transit remand.

It was Siddharth who first saw Sushant's body hanging from the fan at his house. Thereafter, he called the police. Sources said that Pithani was very close to Sushant and used to live in the same apartment with him.
