      Mumbai, PTI: The Narcotics Control Bureau has detained an alleged drug dealer as part of its probe after the emergence of a drug angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case, officials said.

      The dealer is allegedly involved in the supply of narcotics in the high-end party circles of Mumbai.

      He is expected to be formally arrested by the NCB after his questioning gave the agency officials some "vital leads" into the narcotics case registered against Sushant Rajput's friend actor Rhea Chakraborty and others, they said.

      The agency last week arrested two men for alleged drug trafficking in the western metropolis and the leads against the detained man came after questioning them.

      A special NCB team from Delhi, headed by deputy director (operations) KPS Malhotra, is camping in Mumbai to take forward this probe. The team also includes agency officers from Mumbai and has been constituted by NCB Director General Rakesh Asthana.

      The agency filed a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) after the Enforcement Directorate, also probing the death case of the 34-year-old actor, shared with it a report after it cloned two mobile phones of Rhea Chakraborty.

      As per officials, the mobile phone chats and messages indicated procurement and consumption of drugs and these leads were shared by the ED with the NCB and the CBI.
