Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], March 31 (ANI): The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday arrested actor Ajaz Khan after eight hours of interrogation in connection with a drug case.
Khan was detained at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday evening.
The agency also conducted raids at two locations in Mumbai in connection with the matter.
Last year in April, the actor had been arrested for indulging in acts of defamation, hate speech, and violation of prohibitory orders.
In July 2019, he was arrested by the cybercrime police for creating and uploading ‘objectionable’ videos on social media.
Khan, who has worked in several Hindi and Telugu films, first got the public attention when he participated in the seventh season of the reality show ‘Big Boss’, and was often seen falling out with fellow contestants using coarse language and rough behaviour.
Khan has been remanded to the custody of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) till April 3 in connection with the Batata Gang drug case.
He was arrested earlier in the day for the same after eight hours of interrogation.
“4.5 grams of Alprozol tablets were recovered by chance during his house search but he has been mainly arrested for his association with Batata Gang,” NCB officials had said.
Khan had also been taken by the NCB for a medical check-up before producing him before a court in Mumbai for remand. “Only 4 sleeping pills were found at my home. My wife has suffered a miscarriage and is using these pills as antidepressants,” he told reporters. The agency also conducted raids at two locations in Mumbai in connection with the matter. (ANI)
