Aryan Khan Arrest: Rhea Chakraborty To Bharti Singh- Celebs Who Have Been In NCB’s Custody

Since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput last year, the NCB has been investigating the relationship between Bollywood and drugs, revealing the dark underbelly of Hollywood. The issue about drug use in the entertainment business has revived after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) apprehended three persons in connection with a narcotics seizure on a cruise ship off the coast of Mumbai late Saturday.

Soon after, superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan was identified as one of those detained by police. He will be held in judicial custody for a few more days until another bail hearing at the court. Since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput a year and a half ago, NCB has actively probed the relationship between Bollywood and drugs, revealing tinsel town’s dark underbelly. The relationship between the entertainment business and substance abuse, on the other hand, is not new.

Sanjay Dutt, an actor, was one of the first in India to be accused for drug possession. Prior to the 1993 bombing case, Dutt was imprisoned for five months in 1982 after being caught with illegal narcotics in his hands. It was also featured in his biography, ‘Sanju.’

Several celebrities have recently been arrested in drug-related events.

In a joint operation on September 25, NCB officials from Mumbai and Goa detained Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal’s partner Gabriella Demetriades’ brother from Goa in connection with a drugs case. In addition, the agency took his charas (hashish/cannabis). Last October, he was also held in the drugs case involving actor Sushant Singh Rajput.

The following are some of the persons that were apprehended by police:
