MUMBAI: Exactly six months before we heard the news of demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput and the three agencies, CBI, NCB and ED, continued to investigate the case. While the CBI and ED are looking at the suicide and misappropriation of funds angle respectively, the Narcotics Control Bureau has been investigating the drugs angle which came to the fore with the actor's demise.
