The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), on Tuesday, issued summonses to actor Sushant Singh Rajput's former manager Shruti Modi and talent manager Jaya Saha, asking them to join its investigation on Wednesday, an official said.

Some chats of Jaya Saha with Rhea had come to light during the ED's questioning, the official added.
