Drugs seized in NCB raid at TV actor’s home

Mumbai, Apr 03 (PTI): A Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) team conducted a raid at the residence of television actor Gaurav Dixit in Andheri’s Lokhandwala area and allegedly seized a huge quantity of drugs, an official said on Saturday. Gaurav Dixit, who has worked in a couple of small movies and done minor roles on television, is on the run, officials said. The raid was carried out on Friday evening by the Mumbai unit of the NCB after it received a specific input, he said. Dixit’s name cropped up in the interrogation of actor and former Bigg Boss contestant Ejaz Khan, who was arrested earlier, he added.
Dixit, and a foreign national woman who lived with him, left the residence minutes before the raid, and a hunt was on for both of them, the NCB official informed. Actor Ajaz Khan was arrested by the NCB on Wednesday, a day after he was detained for questioning over restricted drugs found at his house. The agency said it had found alprazolam tablets from his residence during searches in the city’s Andheri and Lokhandwala areas.
