Arjun Rampal's foreign girlfriend Gabriella's brother sent to judicial custody in drugs case

The Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Court has sent accused Agisilaos Demetriades in the drugs case linked to Sushant Singh Rajput's death case to judicial custody.On Monday, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) made its 23rd arrest as part of its investigation in the drugs case linked to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death probe. Agisilaos, an African national, is Arjun Rampal's brother-in-law, he was arrested from a resort in Lonavla, Mumbai and drugs were recovered from his possession. As per NCB, Agisilaos was allegedly in touch with numerous drug peddlers related to the case. His arrest was confirmed by NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede. The agency reportedly came to know about his role in drug dealing after the arrest of other peddlers and had seized alprazolam tablets and hashish from him. 

Not just in Mumbai, the NCB has made arrests in other parts of the country as well. The NCB's probe into the drug angle of Sushant Singh Rajput's death has led to a massive crackdown on the widespread drug network in the film industry. After the alleged prime accused Rhea Chakraborty's arrest in September, the central agency summoned a host of Bollywood A-listers including actors Deepika Padukone, her manager Karishma Prakash, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Shraddha Kapoor who were named by the persons apprehended by the NCB. The NCB launched an investigation after it received official communication from Enforcement Directorate (ED), in which there were various chats related to drug consumption, procurement, usage and transportation in connection with the Sushant Singh Rajput case. Rajput was found dead at his Mumbai residence on June 14.
