Ajaz Khan, Former Bigg Boss Contestant Arrested By NCB In Drugs Probe, Actor Says Only ‘4 Sleeping Pills Found’
Actor & former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on March 31 after eight hours of interrogation in connection with a drug case. This comes a day after he was detained for questioning over restricted drugs found at his Mumbai home. He was taken into custody on March 30 from the Mumbai airport upon his arrival from Rajasthan. The agency said it had found alprazolam tablets from his residence during searches in the city's Andheri & Lokhandwala areas. Aijaz Khan is part of narcotics peddler Shadab Farooque Shaikh alias Shadab Batata's syndicate, the NCB has said, reported NDTV. Revelations made by Batata led the agency to Khan who was questioned in the NCB's Mumbai office. “Neither was anything found from my home nor from the airport,” Khan said on March 31 morning while talking to reporters while being taken away by officials. The NCB has in recent months tightened the screws on the alleged Bollywood-narcotics syndicate with searches, interrogations, and arrests being made in this connection.
