Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal reached the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) zonal office here on Friday for questioning during a drug case, a politician said.
Rampal, who was initially summoned by the central agency on Wednesday, received the NCB’s zonal office in Ballard Estate, South Mumbai, around 11.00 am.
The 47-year-old model-turned-actor are going to be questioned in reference to the case associated with alleged drug use within the Hindi movie industry, the official said.
His partner Gabriella Demetriades was questioned by NCB officials for 2 consecutive days.
The apex drug enforcement agency, which is probing the case for the previous couple of months, had questioned her for nearly six hours each on Wednesday and Thursday.
The NCB summoned Rampal and Demetriades after conducting an enquiry at the actor’s residence in suburban Bandra on Monday.
The probe agency had seized electronic gadgets like laptops, mobile phones and tablets during the search and also questioned Rampals driver.
A day before the search at Rampal’s house, the NCB had arrested Bollywood producer Firoz Nadiadwala’s wife after ganja was allegedly found at their residence in suburban Juhu.
The NCB launched the probe into alleged drug use in Bollywood after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June.
The central agency arrested Rajput’s girlfriend, actor Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik and a couple of others under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
Rhea and a few other accused are currently out on bail.
