The report states that in his application to the NCB, Ranveer has stated that Deepika sometimes suffers from anxiety and gets panic attacks, and hence he should be granted permission to be with her. The actor has stated that he is a ‘law-abiding citizen’ and knows that he cannot be present at the time of the questioning but had requested to be allowed inside the NCB office.
The sources told that no decision has been taken by the NCB yet. Deepika’s manager Karishma Prakash is also summoned for questioning by the NCB and she had reached the office a few hours back. Rakul Preet Singh is also inside the office. She arrived from Hyderabad yesterday.
Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor are also summoned. Meanwhile, NCB has recorded statements of fashion designer Simone Khambatta and Shruti Modi, Sushant’s former manager.
