Earlier in the day, it was widely reported that Ranveer Singh had written to NCB, requesting permission to be present during wife Deepika Padukone’s interrogation, citing her anxiety issues.
However, NCB has refuted reports of receiving any such application.
India Today quoted NCB officials saying, “There are questions whether Ranveer Singh is joining the investigation with Deepika Padukone. We confirm that we have not received any such request from any summoned person. The last email received from the concerned summoned person is only regarding joining the investigation.”
A Republic TV report, quoting a source, had earlier said that Ranveer had submitted an application to the NCB, stating that Deepika sometimes suffers from anxiety and panic attacks and hence he should be granted permission to be with her. The application added him as saying that as he is a ‘law-abiding citizen’, he understood that he couldn’t be present during her questioning session but had requested to be present in the NCB office.
Deepika Padukone along with Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor is scheduled for interrogation tomorrow.
