Bollywood drug probe: Actor Arjun Rampal summoned by NCB
Mumbai (Maharashtra): Actor Arjun Rampal has been summoned by the Narcotics Control Bureau on November 13 as part of the agency's probe into the alleged drug use in Bollywood.
Earlier on November 9, the NCB had conducted a raid at the actor's residence.
The probing agency had seized electronic gadgets like laptops, mobile phones, and tablets during the raid and also questioned the actor's driver.
A day before the raid at Rampal's house, the NCB had arrested Bollywood producer Firoz Nadiadwala's wife after ganja was allegedly found at their residence in suburban Juhu.
The NCB 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.
