Never procured nor consumed any narcotic substances: Dia Mirza denies drug allegations

Guwahati: As Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is starting to widen its probe into the drug connection of the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, many B-town A-listers have now come into the purview. Actors like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, and now Dia Mirza is under the scanner as well.

Dia Mirza took to Instagram to issue a statement saying that she has never procured drugs nor has consumed any. She wrote, “I would like to strongly refute and categorically deny this news as being false, baseless, and with mala fide intentions. Such frivolous reporting has a direct impact on my reputation being besmirched and is causing damage to my career, which I have painstakingly built with years of hard work. I have never procured or consumed any narcotics or contraband substances of any form in my life. I intend to pursue the full extent of legal remedies available to me as a law-abiding citizen.”
