Mumbai: Narcotics Control Bureau on Tuesday arrested actress Rhea Chakraborty in a drug case related to Sushant Singh Rajput's death probe. She will be taken for a medical test.

Rhea Chakraborty on Tuesday appeared before the Narcotics Control Bureau for the third consecutive day for questioning in the drugs case linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

After the questioning session on Monday, NCB Deputy Director General (south-west region) Mutha Ashok Jain told reporters that the agency was doing a "professionally thorough and systematic job" and it will inform the court about its findings in detail in this case.

The agency has said it wants to question the actress and confront her with her younger brother Showik Chakraborty, Rajput's house manager Samuel Miranda and his house staffer Dipesh Sawant to ascertain their roles in this alleged drug racket.

In her interviews given to multiple TV news channels, the actress had said she has never consumed drugs herself. She had, however, claimed that Rajput used to consume marijuana.
