NCB has got many leads from WhatsApp chats of the accused. Experts say that digital footprints are enough proof of drug usage and NCB does not need to conduct any kind of tests on the accused or recover drugs from them physically. The WhatsApp chat or the digital footprints of the drug transaction can be easily established and stand in the court of law. Who supplied the drugs, how was the payment done, whose card was used for payment, how many times was it used, what was the quantity of order given, and when was the drugs supplied, everything can be established with the help of digital proof.
It was the interrogation of Jaya Saha, the talent manager of Rhea Chakraborty that opened this pandora box of Bollywood bigwigs into drugs. Rhea Chakraborty’s WhatsApp Chat gave lead to the NCB about a whole drug syndicate working in the Indian film industry. But first, it was the Enforcement directorate that got the lead about the drugs case. NCB got the lead of Deepika Padukone and Shraddha Kapoor from Jaya Saha’s WhatsApp chats. The investigating agency came to know that Jaya Saha was just working as a facilitator.
