Bollywood actress Ananya Pandey was questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday for over four hours. This is the second round of questioning for the 22-year-old actress. Ananya, dressed in a white top and jeans, was seen entering the NCB premises at Ballard Estate in south Mumbai around 2 pm on Friday afternoon. She was spotted leaving the NCB office around 6:30 pm, accompanied by her actor-father Chunky Pandey.
The actress, who made her Bollywood debut in Karan Johar's 'Student Of The Year 2' in 2019, has been called by the NCB on Monday.
On Wednesday, the anti-drugs agency raided Ananya's house in Bandra before sending her a summon to appear before it later in the day to record her statement. The NCB officials seized her laptop and mobile phone during the raid. The actress then reached the NCB office along with her actor father at around 4pm for questioning.
The NCB raided Ananya's house after her name was mentioned in certain WhatsApp chats between her and Aryan allegedly found on the latter's mobile phone, according to reports. However, the NCB has not yet officially clarified about her role in the case or released a statement on the matter.
An NCB team had also paid SRK's residence a visit to collect a few documents from the house just hours after the actor finally met his son in-person after the Maharashtra government relaxed the visiting rules for prisoners and undertrial inmates in Arthur Road jail which were placed in the wake of Covid-19. Aryan is currently lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail and will stay locked there in judicial custody until October 30 or granted bail by the court.
The Bombay High Court on Thursday scheduled the 23-year-old's bail hearing in the matter for October 26 and has also requested the NCB to submit its reply by Monday. So far, Aryan's bail plea has been rejected by local and special court several times.
Aryan, along with others, was arrested by the NCB on October 3 after the agency conducted a raid on a cruise ship off Mumbai coast on its way to Goa.
