In the ongoing drug case, NCB has made its 23rd arrest. Arjun Rampal’s partner Gabriella Demetriades’ brother Agisilaos Demetriades has been taken under custody on charges of drug peddling under 16/20 CIR. NCB sources have confirmed the relationship between Agisilaos and Gabriella, who is currently living with Arjun Rampal and their kid. She made her Instagram account private after her brother’s arrest.
Reportedly the agency has seized alprazolam tablets and hashish from Agisilaos Demetriades. The drug case in question is the same under which actor Rhea Chakraborty was arrested. The ‘Jalebi’ actress is currently out on bail and has been asked to appear before the police, and to not leave Mumbai, especially without notifying the police first.
NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede confirmed his arrest and has alleged that Agisilaos was in touch with other drug peddlers related to the case. The drugs case began as a parallel investigation after actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s mysterious death on June 14, 2020.
According to a report on Times of India, Demetriades is under NCB custody for two days. The report states that he had been actively supplying drugs.
NCB had previously arrested Sushant’s last girlfriend Rhea, her brother Showik Chakraborty, the late actor’s former house manager Samuel Miranda, and staff head Dipesh Sawant. Although Rhea is out on bail, Showik remains in custody. The agency had also arrested Kshitij Prasad, a former employee of Dharma 2.0, in the Bollywood drug nexus case.
Apart from NCB, the CBI and ED were given the task to conduct their own investigation in Sushant’s death case.
