Earlier on Monday, the NCB had carried out a search at Rampal's residence as part of its probe into the alleged drug use in Bollywood. The search at the residence of the model-turned-actor came a day after the NCB arrested Bollywood producer Firoz Nadiadwala's wife Shabana Saeed after ganja was allegedly found at their residence in suburban Juhu. The NCB had seized electronic gadgets like laptops, mobile phones and tablets during the search at Rampal's residence and questioned the actor's driver.
Arjun Rampal and his girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades came under the radar of NCB after her actress' brotherAgisilaos Demetriades was arrested by the NCB from a resort in Lonavala in a drugs case last month. It was alleged that he was in touch with drug peddlers.
On a related note, the NCB had launched a probe into the alleged drug use in Bollywood after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June on the basis of WhatsApp chats involving drugs. The central agency had earlier arrested Rajput's girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, some employees of the late film star and a few others under various sections of the NDPS Act. Rhea Chakraborty and some other accused are currently out on bail.
