Bollywood Drugs Case: NCB takes Ajaz Khan for medical check-up after his arrest

New Delhi: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday took Ajaz Khan for a medical check-up before producing him before a court in Mumbai.

The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday arrested actor Ajaz Khan after eight hours of interrogation in connection with a drug case. Khan was detained at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday evening. The agency also conducted raids at two locations in Mumbai in connection with the matter.

Responding to raids, Ajaz told the reporters, “No drugs were found anywhere. Only four sleeping pills were found at my home. My wife has suffered a miscarriage and is using these pills as anti-depressants.”

Khan’s name came to light after the arrest of drug peddler Shadaab Batata in the same case. Last year in April, the actor had been arrested for indulging in acts of defamation, hate speech, and violation of prohibitory orders.

In July 2019, he was arrested by the cybercrime police for creating and uploading ‘objectionable’ videos on social media.

Khan, who has worked in several Hindi and Telugu films, first got the public attention when he participated in the seventh season of the reality show ‘Big Boss’, and was often seen falling out with fellow contestants using coarse language and rough behaviour.
