Deepika Padukone's former manager Karishma Prakash has been summoned again on Thursday (5 November) by the Narcotics Control Bureau for interrogation, as per a report by ANI.
Prakash appeared before the NCB on Wednesday, 4 October, for further questioning. She was summoned after drugs were allegedly seized from her residence.
Prakash had earlier resigned from KWAN Talent Agency. A statement from Vijay Subramaniam, co-founder and CEO of KWAN, read, "Karishma Prakash tendered her resignation on 21 October with immediate effect and it was accepted. She now has nothing to do with KWAN or with any of the artistes that the agency represent, including Deepika Padukone. The ongoing investigations are on Karishma Prakash as an individual".
On 27 October, Karishma Prakash was summoned by the NCB after the probe agency seized drugs from her house, sources told The Quint. A report by The Indian Express stated that 1.7 grams of charas and at least two bottles of CBD oil were found at Prakash's residence.
An NCB official had also told Mumbai Mirror that investigations have revealed that Prakash was in touch with alleged drug peddlers arrested by the NCB and thus she has been summoned.
Karishma Prakash had been questioned earlier by the probe agency that is investigating alleged use of drugs in Bollywood following the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput.
