Mumbai: Actor Armaan Kohli was arrested on Sunday by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), after banned drugs were allegedly recovered from his house.

"A small quantity of Cocaine has been seized from his (Armaan Kohli) house," said Sameer Wankhede, Zonal Director of NCB's Mumbai Zonal Unit.
The investigation has revealed that the case has international linkages as the cocaine seized has South American origin, the officer added.
Kohli’s name cropped up when NCB officials were questioning Ajay Raju Singh, a drug peddler arrested on Saturday morning.
Earlier, Singh was caught near the Haji Ali dargah in south Mumbai, where 25 grams of MD was recovered from him.
“He is a history-sheeter and has been previously involved in a 2018 case of ANC Mumbai wherein a huge quantity of Ephedrine was recovered,” official apprised.
Armaan was earlier arrested in 2018 for allegedly threatening a fashion designer. He has been taken to a government hospital for a medical check up.
He will be produced in the court late afternoon. (UNI)
