    Actor Deepika Padukone today acknowledged the summon issued to her in connection with a drug case related to Sushant Singh Rajput's death, confirmed Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials.

    She has been summoned by the investigating bureau in Mumbai on September 25.

    Following this, Padukone on Thursday left for Mumbai from Goa Airport.

    The NCB on Wednesday summoned actors Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, Rakul reet Singh, Simone Khambatta and celebrity manager Shruti Modi in connection with the drugs case.

    In a later development, Padukone has submitted to join the investigation on 26 September. Rakul Preet Singh and Karishma Prakash will be joining the investigation tomorrow, confirmed NCB.

    Meanwhile, Fashion Designer Simone Khambatta on Thursday visited NCB office in Mumbai for interrogation.

    Karishma Prakash, who works at KWAN talent agency, was also summoned this week. Moreover, KWAN CEO Dhruv Chitgopekar and film producer Madhu Mantena appeared before the NCB for questioning in the matter.

    Shruti Modi, the former business manager of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, was questioned by the NCB in the case in the past as well.

    Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court is slated to hear on Thursday the bail plea of actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and others in the drugs case. Earlier, a special Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances court had refused to grant bail to the accused in the case.

    The NCB had launched an investigation after it received official communication from the Enforcement Directorate (ED), in which there were various chats related to drug consumption, procurement, usage and transportation.

    The ED had on July 31 registered an Enforcement Case Information Report in the late actor's death case after a First Information Report was filed by Rajput's father KK Singh against Rhea Chakraborty in Bihar on July 28.

    Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
