After hours of grilling, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested Mumbai-based actor Ajaz Khan for alleged links with drug traffickers.
Khan, who is in his mid-forties, was picked up by NCB sleuths after he landed at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai on Tuesday. He arrived here from Jaipur.
A top NCB official confirmed to DH the arrest of Khan.
Khan has been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and would be produced before a Magistrate’s court.
Last week, the NCB arrested two notorious drug-traffickers Shahrukh Khan alias Shahrukh Bullet and Shadab Farooque Shaikh alias Shadab Batata – and the NCB has found them linked with Khan.
It needs to be mentioned that the NCB has arrested over 30 peddlers, traffickers and couriers – after it started a probe into the drug angle behind the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput which triggered a larger probe into the Bollywood drug-mafia nexus.
