Rampal also appeared before the agency in November and December last year in connection with the case following which the NCB said he could be recalled due to a “discrepancy” in his statement. , according to Sameer Wankhede, NCB area manager in Mumbai. “There was a discrepancy in Arjun Rampal’s statement. He can be summoned again for questioning, “he told ANI.

The drug agency raided the actor’s home on November 9 and seized electronic gadgets. His girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades was then interrogated for six hours on the same day.

However, in a post on Twitter on January 1 Rampal reiterated that he had “never been on the wrong side of the law”. “So as we head into 2021, it’s worry that makes me write my thoughts of a year that has filled millions of lives with fear, anxiety, disruption, scandals, hypocrisy. , lies, truths, realization, enlightenment, bravery, strength, courage, charity, confusion, clarity and character. Most of these emotions that I felt myself, as I observed silently each of them overwhelm me with an emotion that each of the adjectives brings, ”he wrote on the microblogging site.

The federal agency has interviewed a range of Bollywood actors and their contacts regarding the investigation into the Mumbai-based film industry’s alleged drug links. The case was reportedly exposed during the investigation into the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June last year at his Bandra apartment.
