    What's the story

    The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) reportedly filed draft charges against actor Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik, among others on Wednesday.

    The news about the charges comes two years after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, who was reportedly dating Chakraborty.

    These charges are in connection with a drug case angle being investigated by the NCB in the late actor's death case.

    Context

    Why does this story matter?

    Chakraborty was arrested in September 2020 following the death of the 34-year-old actor who was found hanging in his Bandra apartment on June 14, 2020.

    Since then, many Bollywood actors have made rounds at the police station to record their statements but the case has not reached any conclusion so far.

    Since the incident, the central agency has maintained strict protocol against substance abuse.
