The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday arrested actor Ajaz Khan after eight hours of interrogation in connection with a drug case. He was detained at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday evening.
His name had cropped up during interrogation of drug peddler Shadab Batata, an official said. The probe team also conducted searches at Andheri and Lokhandwala areas along with Ajaz in connection with the case.
Khan was taken into custody after he visited the NCB office. He had landed in Mumbai only on Tuesday. While speaking to media persons outside the NCB office in south Mumbai, he had claimed he was not detained but himself came to meet the officers.
The agency also conducted raids at two locations in Mumbai in connection with the matter. Last year in April, the actor had been arrested for indulging in acts of defamation, hate speech, and violation of prohibitory orders.
