The actress was arrested yesterday by the NCB in connection with a drug case related to actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Rhea was shifted to the Byculla jail in Mumbai from the NCB office earlier today. She and her brother have reportedly confessed that many A-list Bollywood celebrities are also involved in drug abuse. If the reports are to be believed, in the next 10-15 days, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is expected to start issuing summons to the celebrities names, after a proper investigation. Last evening, after Rhea's arrest, several Bollywood stars shared the message that was written on the Jalebi star's t-shirt to show support to her. The list of celebs who spoke in Rhea's favour included Kareena Kapoor Khan, Amrita Arora, Sonam Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Shibani Dandekar, Zoya Akhtar, Farhan Akhtar, Shweta Bachchan, Neha Dhupia and others. Currently, Rhea has been shifted to jail from the NCB office and she will be in judicial custody for the next 14 days
