The case has subsequently been taken over by CBI, with Narcotics Control Bureau and Enforcement Directorate joining the investigation.

Bollywood-drugs case: NCB opposes Kshitij Prasad's bail plea

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday opposed a bail plea filed by Kshitij Prasad, former executive producer of Dharmatic Entertainment.
He was arrested on September 26 in the drug case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Rajput's girlfriend and actor Rhea Chakraborty is
among the accused in the case. Rhea is now out on bail. In his application for bail before the special Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act court, Prasad claimed that he was implicated in the case by the NCB after he refused to give false statements against Bollywood celebrities such as director Karan Johar and others.

Prasad was briefly associated with Dharmatic Entertainment, a sister concern of Johar's Dharma Productions. In its written reply filed before the court on Wednesday, the agency denied his allegations. It also termed Prasad's claim of being insulted by probe officials as "baseless".
