Mumbai: Actor Deepika Padukone arrived at the NCB office here to join the probe in a drug case related to the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Deepika was earlier asked to join the probe on Friday, however, on her request the agency asked her to depose before it on Saturday.
The development came a day after the agency issued a summon to Deepika, the daughter of badminton icon Prakash Padukone who is married to Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh, to join the probe after her alleged chats with her manager Karishma Prakash came to the fore during the investigation.
Deepika on Thursday arrived in Mumbai from Goa, where she was shooting for an upcoming film along with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Pandey.
