The Narcotics Control Bureau(NCB) on Saturday, that is November 21, raided comedian Bharti Singh and her husband and writer Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s residence in Mumbai. According to a report by news agency PTI, the agency have seized small quantity of cannabis from their flat.
After the raid, the couple was summoned by the NCB for questioning at their office.
On her way to the NCB office, Bharti Singh, speaking to the media, said, “I have been brought here only for questioning.”
NCB had conducted raids at three places today, which includes Bharti and Haarsh’s production house office and residence in Mumbai. Bharti and Haarsh are currently hosting the reality show India’s Best Dancer on Sony TV which will premier its grand finale episode this weekend.
The couple, who has previously worked together in Colors’ reality TV show Khatra Khatra Khatra tied the knot in December 3, 2017 in Goa.
Meanwhile, the NCB has been strictly monitoring Bollywood celebrities as it believes the industry is involved in a huge drug nexus. Earlier, the agency had con raids at Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal and filmmaker Firoz Nadiadwala’s houses in Mumbai in the same case.
Following the raids, agency had called Arjun and his girlfriend Gabriella for questioning while Nadiadwala’s wife was also quizzed.
Bollywood drug nexus came into light after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput who was found hanging at his Bandra apartment on June 14. NCB has reportedly received information from Enforcement Directorate which revealed direct involvement of Bollywood A-listers with drug dealers.
The NCB had also arrested Sushant’s former girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty under NDPS act in September 2020 who was later granted conditional bail in October.
Other than Rhea, Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh and Shraddha Kapoor have also been quizzed by the NCB.
