In the morning, Bigg Boss fans were shocked to read the reports about a former contestant being arrested in possession of drugs. As per reports, Bigg Boss 7 contestant Ajaz Khan was arrested by the police from a hotel in Belapur, Navi Mumbai, and was charged for possession of illegal drugs. The reports claimed that the police found tablets if ecstasy on Ajaz. In a series of tweets, Ajaz has vehemently denied being in possession of any drugs. In fact, he has given a new twist to the tale. He has said that he is paying the price speaking the truth. Albeit, no context was given by him.

In the first tweet, Ajaz wrote, "If helping the delivery boys of Zomato was a crime, I'm a criminal. If speaking against the wrong doing of Politician was a crime, I'm a criminal. P.S: This all is a conspiracy Planned by the biggies & Dear Media & Haters this "?" won't help as I know my family & Allah is with me (sic)"

In the second tweet, he wrote, that the story about being caught with drugs was fabricated. Although he has not made clear if he was arrested or not. He said that he is paying the price for speaking the truth. Melodramatically, he also added that he'd die for the country if required but will not stop speaking the truth.

This has not been Ajaz's first brush with a controversy. Somehow, the star's name has been able to surface in correlation with a negative news time and again.
