Mumbai: Actor Sara Ali Khan arrived at Narcotics Control Bureau's (NCB) office in Mumbai, around 1 p.m. today to join the probe in a drug case related to the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.

The 25-year-old actor, who was holidaying in Goa, reached Mumbai with her mother, actor Amrita Singh and brother, Ibrahim Ali Khan around 5 p.m. and headed to their suburban Juhu residence.

Khan made her acting debut opposite Rajput in the 2018 film Kedarnath.

The NCB, which began the probe after a drugs angle came to light in connection with Rajput's alleged suicide, has now widened its investigation and called film celebrities for questioning.
