Actor Armaan Kohli was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai late on Sunday evening after illegal drugs were found in his residence in a raid.
The investigators have allegedly uncovered international links to the drug trade since the seized products are said to be of foreign origin. The raid came in the wake of the arrest of a drug peddler, Ajay Raju Singh, in Mumbai on Saturday.
