The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday refuted claims about a clean chit given to Bollywood actresses Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and others questioned in connection with the a drugs case surrounding the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, saying such reports are "devoid" of "truth and facts".

"The news article mentioning that the drugs law enforcement agency giving clean chit to those examined by NCB is devoid of the facts and truth," said an official.

He said that the necessary "rebuttal" is being issued to the concerned.

The remarks came after a media report claimed that the NCB has given a clean chit to Deepika, her former manager Karishma Prakash, Sara, Shraddha and others in a drugs related case.

Ther NCB questioned Deepika, Shraddha and Karishma on Saturday in Mumbai for several hours over their alleged chats discussing drugs. The NCB also questioned Sara, who starred with Sushant in Kedarnath for over five hours in the case on Saturday.

The NCB also grilled actor Rakul Preet Singh in connection with its probe on Friday for four hours.

However, the officials of the NCB have remained tightlipped on its findings after the questioning of these actors in the case as it is corroborating the statements of all the people questioned in the case so far.
