The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) carried out a surprise raid on the actor Arjun Rampal's Mumbai residence area in an suspected drug nexus in a new twist to the ongoing drug case. The actor's house was raided the day after the arrest of Agisialos, the brother of Gabriella Demetriades, his sister. They had 10 grams of marijuana confiscated from the residence. After news reports about his contact with drug dealers circulated in the drug case connected with Sushant Singh Rajput 's death, the central drug law enforcement agency detained the Nigerian resident. Ex-Dharma Productions employee Kshitij Prasad was also previously caught in the same situation. Agisialos and Prasad were both in contact with a Nigerian national who had been arrested in Mumbai for trading cocaine.

Earlier, in connection with the case, the NCB had investigated Bollywood actresses Deepika Padukone, Sara Ali Khan, and Shraddha Kapoor, while Riya Chakraborty was released without proper evidence. Officials reportedly also seized a few drugs from producer Firoz Nadiadwala 's home. During the raid, the producer was not seen at his house. His wife was interviewed at their office by NCB officials.
