Drug probe
After comedian Bharti Singh, her husband too arrested in drug probe
Mumbai/IBNS: A day after comedian Bharti Singh was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officials, her husband-Haarsh Limbachiyaa-was arrested on Sunday morning following 15 hours of questioning by the probe agency in connection with an alleged drug case.
The 33-year-old was taken in custody hours after his wife's arrest on Saturday.
Bharti and her husband Harsh Limbachiyaa were taken for questioning by the NCB on Saturday after been accused of consuming banned drugs.
A "small quantity of cannabis" was recovered by NCB during a search operation at their Mumbai residence on Saturday morning.
This raid is the latest in the series of searches conducted by NCB at residences of big names associated with Bollywood.
Earlier this month actor Arjun Rampal and his partner Gabriella Demetriades were summoned for questioning at the NCB office. While Rampal was questioned for a total of six hours, Demetriades was questioned for over two days for a total of 12 hours. Before that, their home was searched by NCB.
While leaving the NCB office post the questioning, Rampal said the substances found in his house were prescribed medicine and the prescription had been handed over to the probe agency. He said he was fully cooperating with the drug probe agency and he had nothing to do with drugs.
