Mumbai: Adding a new dimension to the ongoing probe into the nexus between narcotics and film industry, the NCB will soon be summoning 25 Bollywood stars named by Rhea Chakraborty and others.
According to a news channel report, Rhea has named some Bollywood biggies during her interrogation by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in connection with the alleged drugs angle shrouding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Besides Rhea, Dipesh Sawant and Samuel Miranda too have named few actors who NCB feels are important to be questioned as far as consumption of drugs is concerned. The apex drug controlling agency is likely to issue summons either today or tomorrow.
Meanwhile, for the third consecutive day, Rhea on Tuesday appeared before NCB.

On Sunday, she appeared before the NCB for the first time and was subjected to a six-hour grilling as investigators went hammer and tongs after drug related allegations that have emerged in the death case.
Again on Monday, Rhea was questioned by at least two NCB teams for eight hours on various aspects of the narcotic drugs thread that has cropped up in the Sushant case.
After the grilling, the actor -- who has all along claimed she is innocent -- went to the Bandra Police and lodged a complaint against Priyanka Singh -- the sister of Sushant -- alleging forged medical prescriptions.
On September 5, Rhea's brother Showik Chakraborty, Sushant's home manager Samuel Miranda, his house helper Dipesh Sawant were arrested and sent to the NCB custody till September 9.
