The investigation began after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) handed it over the alleged "drug chats" the agency said were retrieved from the phone of actor Rhea Chakraborty, who had been questioned by the ED.

Rhea was named in an FIR filed by Sushant Singh Rajput's father in Patna, who claimed that her actions led to the 34-year-old actor's untimely demise at his Bandra residence in Mumbai in June this year.
