The NCB booked Goa-based hotelier Gaurav Arya in a drug case, he appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday and was grilled for more than 9 hours. According to a senior ED official, Arya, the owner of Hotel Tamarind and Cafe Cotinga in Goa, was questioned about his alleged chats with Sushant’s girlfriend Rhea, where the two are discussing drugs.

Gaurav said he had met Rhea in a hotel in Goa in 2017 and exchanged numbers. Rhea, in a casual chat, spoke to him about drugs and he did not entertain her further on that topic.
