This isn’t the first time Ajaz Khan’s name has been dragged into a drug case. On October 21, 2018, the Bigg Boss 7 contestant was arrested by the Narcotics Cell of the Mumbai Police for possession of drugs. Back then, the actor was found with 8 ecstasy tablets.
This wasn’t the only time the actor was in police custody. On July 18 2019, Ajaz Khan was arrested for sharing objectionable content, ‘promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, & creating hatred among public at large.’
Since actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s shocking death last year, many Bollywood celebrities have been quizzed by the Narcotics Control Bureau for possession and consumption of banned narcotic substances. While stars like Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and others were interrogated, actress Rhea Chakraborty was kept on remand for close to a month.
