Narcotics Control Bureau SIT member tests positive for COVID-19; SSR manager Shruti Modi sent back from questioning

In a new development in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, it has been confirmed that one of the team members of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has been tested positive for coronavirus. 

In a statement, NCB said that they received the antigen test report which came out positive for COVID-19 because of which other members will also be tested and due protocol laid down will be followed. Given that, NCB who had summoned Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Shruti Modi on Wednesday in a drugs-related case linked to the actor's death was sent back. 

For the uninformed, Shruti had earlier appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in Mumbai for questioning in connection with the case. The NCB had launched an investigation after it received official communication from ED, in which there were various chats related to drug consumption, procurement, usage, and transportation in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case. The ED had on July 31 registered an Enforcement Case Information Report in the late actor's death case after a First Information Report (FIR) was filed by Sushant's father KK Singh against Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar on July 28. Sushant was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
