Actor Arjun Rampal grilled for over 6 hours

India's narcotics control authority probing the Bollywood drugs scandal grilled model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal for over six hours found in the town of Mumbai on Monday. 

"We've not arrested Arjun, but that will not mean he offers been given a clean chit. We've found discrepancies in his statements regarding the the seizure of electronic devices plus some banned drugs during raids at his residence previous month," a senior official of  the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) advised the media. 

Arjun built his acting debut in romantic flick Pyaar Ishq Aur Mohabbat in 2001 and went on to act in a lot more than 40 films since then. He played lead roles in several romantic films such as Deewaanapan (2001), Dil Hai Tumhaara (2002), Dil Ka Rishta (2003), Vaada (2005) and I See You (2006), but tasted success in 2002 for hie effectiveness in Aankhen.

Arjun was earlier questioned by the anti-narcotics sleuths for near seven hours on November 13. His live-in partner was as well grilled over two days, while her brother was arrested regarding the the seizure. NCB began probing the drugs scandal following a death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June.  One of the primary to be arrested regarding the the case had been his actor-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik. Both are out on bail.

Rhea was, in fact, arrested by NCB on September 9, following days of questioning, and accused of procuring cannabis for her late actor-boyfriend, whose human body was first found hanging from a ceiling fan found in his Mumbai flat on June 14.Soon after the arrest of Rhea, the names of at least 20 top Bollywood celebrities - from actors to filmmakers to designers - surfaced in the drugs case.

 Many of them, including top rated female Bollywood actors -  Rakul Preet Singh,  Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor - had been subsequently grilled by NCB.The grilling came in the wake of WhatsApp chats retrieved from Rhea's cellular phone indicating that they procured banned substances like cannabis, weed and hash from dealers with links to foreign countries. All of the actors, however, reportedly denied any links with such drug dealers.
