Dipesh further said that one Karan had introduced Sushant to weed.

“During that period Abbas Khalooi would prepare ganja (weed) or charas for Sushant Sir and also smoke with him and his director/manager Kushal Zaveri,” he said.

Dipesh clarified that he never brought drugs.”One of my colleague Rishikesh Pawar used to bring ganja for Sushant sir,” he said.
