The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) said today that it has arrested Bollywood actor Armaan Kohli hours after the recovery of a small quantity of cocaine during searches at his Andheri residence.<\/p>\n
The searches were carried out yesterday.<\/p>\n
The NCB had raided Kohli’s home late last evening and then took him to its office after recovering the banned narcotics, said NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede.<\/p>\n
He added that what has emerged from the probe till now, the case could have international ramifications as the cocaine seized had originated from South America.<\/p>\n
“The NCB is probing the route and linkages used to bring the seized cocaine to Mumbai and the involvement of other traffickers,” Wankhede said.<\/p>\n
Kohli’s name emerged during the interrogation of a peddler Ajay Raju Singh who was arrested in Worli yesterday morning, as part of the NCB’s all-out war against the drugs mafia.<\/p>\n
A history-sheeter with a previous case lodged against him by the Anti-Narcotics Cell of Mumbai Police, the NCB nabbed Ajay Singh yesterday near the Haji Ali Mausoleum and recovered 25 gms of Mephedrone from him.<\/p>\n
Following this, Wankhede said that a first information report has been lodged against both Singh and Kolhi, under various sections of the NDPS Act, and further investigations are under way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
