Deepika Padukone receives permission to take charter plane from Goa to reach Mumbai after receiving NCB summons

The Narcotics Control Bureau has tightened their stance on some of the biggest Bollywood stars in the ongoing drugs probe.  As the agency furthers its probe the limelight is on Deepika Padukone who after receiving the summons, immediately sought legal advice through video conferencing with a 12-member team in Mumbai. Sources further suggested that husband Ranveer Singh was also present during the video conferencing call along with Deepika's lawyers. The actress who is currently shooting in Goa is reported to return to Mumbai in the afternoon. According to Times Now's latest report, Deepika has received permission for a charter plane from Goa at 1:30 PM today. While Deepika will be returning to Mumbai soon, popular fashion designer Simone Khambatta was snapped outside the NCB office on Thursday morning.

Apart from Deepika, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan have also been summoned by the NCB for questioning in the drugs case. Deepika's name surfaced after her chats with Karishma Prakash, Deepika's manager, came to the fore. Addressed as 'D' in the chats the actor was seen asking for 'maal, hash' from a 'K' who was later confirmed as her manager, Karishma Prakash. Shortly after their names were confirmed, Deepika was summoned by the NCB. Both, plus Jaya Saha from whom the chats were accessed, are affiliated to KWAN.  The role of the talent management company in the drug business unearthed after the NCB interrogated talent manager Jaya Saha, who has emerged as a 'kingpin' after revelations came to light regarding her activities in high-profile WhatsApp groups that involved multiple conversations about drugs.
