As per sources, Siddharth Pithani was arrested on May 26 by NCB. This was after the agency got his phone dump from CBI.
Pithani had already been questioned by the Enforcement Directorate and the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI), which are looking into the case against Rhea Chakraborty and others that was filed by Bihar Police in response to Sushant's father KK Singh's complaint.
Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik are among the 33 defendants mentioned in the 12,000-page charge sheet. Over 200 people have testified in the lengthy document.
