MUMBAI: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), probing the role of arrested actor
Arman Kohli in a drug case, on Monday arrested a drug supplier and detained another from Juhu. In a related development, a court remanded Kohli and alleged drug supplier Ajay Singh in NCB custody till September 1.
Kohli was first summoned to the NCB office on Saturday evening after the central agency, during a search operation, found drugs from his residence. Kohli’s name had also cropped up in the probe while NCB was questioning Singh.
“On Monday, we detained two persons from Juhu for questioning. One of them, Mohammed Ajaz alias Chia bhai has been arrested with intermediate quantity of mephedrone,” said Sameer Wankhede, NCB’s zonal director.
Saeed will be produced before a court on Tuesday. Saeed is alleged to have supplied drugs to Singh.
“We are looking into the financial angle too and are verifying details. The case is at a preliminary stage and it would be too early to comment on it,” said Wankhede, adding that there were serious charges against Singh and Kohli. Wankhede said their priority was to break the drug supply chain.
Kohli, a former Bigg Boss contestant, has acted in Hindi movies.
