Chakraborty will join the investigation at around 11am.
The summon to Chakraborty comes a day after a court on Saturday sent her brother Showik and Sushant’s house manager Samuel Miranda to four days NCB custody till September 9.
The NCB arrested Showik and Miranda on Friday night after 10-hour long questioning.
During questioning the NCB got the evidence against the duo and later they were arrested.
On Friday, the NCB also carried out searches at the residences of Showik and Miranda.
The NCB on Saturday also arrested Dipesh Sawant, the personal staff of Rajput.
The NCB had registered a case on August 26 under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, naming Rhea, her brother, talent manager Jaya Saha, Sushant’s co-manager Shruti Modi, and Goa-based hotelier Gaurav Arya, after the Enforcement Directorate wrote to it about the drugs angle.
This followed the discovery of WhatsApp messages between Chakraborty and Shruti Modi, Miranda and Rajput’s flatmate Siddharth Pithani.
The NCB is the third Central agency to join the probe into the death case of Rajput after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the ED.
