According to Indian media, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has arrested Regal Mahakal, a key drug peddler, during an investigation into drug use in Bollywood. According to officials, drugs worth Rs 2.5 crore were recovered from the possession of the accused. Authorities also claim that a drug cartel in Bollywood has been disbanded following Mahakal's arrest.
Mahakal and his accomplice Kaizan have already been arrested on the basis of information provided by accused Azam Sheikh. The accused used to sell drugs to actress Riya Chakraborty's brother Shouk Chakraborty.
