Actor Arjun Rampal arrived at the Narcotics Control Office (NCB) for questioning in a drug-related case on Friday morning. He was summoned by the NCB on Wednesday after the agency conducted raids on his facilities on November 9.
Gabriella Demetriades, Rampal’s girlfriend, was also summoned by the NCB to appear before her on November 11. Gabriella’s brother, Agisilaos Demetriades, was arrested by the agency based on reports that he was part of a drug syndicate linked to the death of actor Sushant Singh. Rajput.
The NCB had carried out searches at Rampal’s residence one day after arresting the wife of film producer Firoz Nadiadwala, Shabana Saeed. NCB officials had allegedly recovered 10 g of ganja at Nadiadwala’s residence in the suburbs of Juhu. Shabana Saeed was granted bail on November 10.
The NCB launched an investigation into the use and possession of drugs by individuals in the Hindi film industry after receiving an official communication from the Directorate of Enforcement (ED), in which there were several talks related to consumption, acquisition, the use and transport of drugs in connection with the death of the Rajput.
Rhea Chakraborty, Rajput’s girlfriend, was arrested on 9 September and later released on bail by the office after spending almost a month in jail on charges of procuring drugs for him.
