Bollywood Actor Arjun Rampal Sister Summoned By NCB
Date: 11/01/2021
Actor Arjun Rampal's sister, Komal Rampal, was summoned for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drug-related case in which he was also questioned.
The summons was issued within days of Komal Rampal expressing her inability to appear before the investigation agency citing ill health.
As she did not request any further date to appear, the NCB had said it would investigate her response.
After her brother allegedly told the agency officials that one of the two banned medicines found in his Mumbai home during a November raid was for his sister, Ms. Rampal was called by the NCB.
Arjun Rampal, who has been interrogated twice for more than six hours per time, has requested a prescription under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act for the medicines banned. The NCB tests the validity of the prescription.
Mumbai's famous betel nut seller Muchhad Paanwala has also been summoned by the anti-drug department, whose name emerged during the questioning of Karan Sajnani, a British national arrested on Saturday with two others for allegedly supplying the city with imported strains of marijuana, an official said.
In the NCB operation, more than 200 kg of ganja, including imported strains such as 'OG Kush' (a cannabis indica strain) and curated marijuana, some of which had been sourced from the United States, were retrieved.
"A team of NCB's Mumbai unit led by zonal director Sameer Wankhede conducted a raid in Bandra (West) and seized ganja from a courier. It then conducted searches in Khar (West) and recovered a huge stash of imported strains of marijuana from Karan Sajnani," he added.
