In his application to the NCB, Ranveer Singh has written how Deepika Padukone sometimes suffers from anxiety and gets panic attacks, and hence he should be granted permission to be with her. In addition to this, Ranveer Singh also stated that he is a 'law-abiding citizen' and knows that he cannot be present at the time of Deepika Padukone's questioning but has sought permission to be allowed inside the NCB office.

Deepika Padukone is set to appear before the NCB on September 26, along with Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor. Meanwhile, Rakul Preet Singh and Deepika Padukone's manager Karishma Prakash are summoned on Friday. 

Statements of fashion designer Simone Khambatta and Shruti Modi, Rajput's former manager, were recorded by the NCB probe team in connection with the drugs case on Thursday. 

The NCB yesterday, also asked Dharma Productions' executive producer Kshitij Ravi to appear before it in the drugs probe linked to Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Dharma Productions is owned by film-maker Karan Johar. 

The NCB had launched an investigation after it received official communication from the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in which there were various chats related to drug consumption, procurement, usage, and transportation.
