Earlier on Friday, the NCB arrested a man named Sahil Ali who allegedly supplied cocaine to Arjun Rampal’s partner’s brother Agisilaos Demetriades. The South African national was arrested a few days back for consuming and supplying banned drugs. As reported by Mumbai Mirror, Sahil confessed to the NCB that he is a peddler and has been supplying drugs to Demetriades. The daily quoted NCB official saying, “Ali admitted that he had supplied cocaine to Demetriades and claimed that Demetriades was a peddler.”
The investigation in the case began when various names from the film industry surfaced in relation to the Sushant Singh Rajput death case. Actor Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Shraddha Kapoor, and Rakul Preet Singh were also questioned in the same case earlier last month.
