Also, on Tuesday evening, NCB arrested assistant film director Rishikesh Pawar in the same case. He was detained in the morning and was arrested later after interrogation. NCB had also raided Pawar's residence and seized some gadgets. Reports claim that Pawar used to supply narcotic substance to the late actor through his cook Dipesh Sawant.

On June 14, 2020, Sushant, 34, was found hanging at his duplex rented flat in a posh building in Bandra, triggering a massive furore in Bollywood and political circles. While his death probe was taken over from Mumbai Police by the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Enforcement Directorate and NCB are investigating the financial and narcotics angles.
