Actor Arjun Rampal’s sister Komal Rampal evaded summons to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in the investigation of the alleged involvement of Bollywood stars in drugs. As per sources, she has informed the authorities about her inability to appear before the agency on Wednesday.
Komal Rampal, a former Miss India finalist and entrepreneur, sought more time to appear, citing personal reasons. She was summoned for questioning at 11 am on Wednesday.
In the case, Arjun Rampal, his partner Gabriella Demetriades, her brother Agisilaos and a friend had all come under the scanner. Agisilaos and Rampal’s friend named Paul Bartel had even been arrested by the NCB. This was followed by the authorities conducting a raid at Arjun Rampal-Gabriella Demetriades’ residence in Mumbai’s Bandra on 9 November. Their electronic items and alleged medicines banned under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act had been seized.
Later, Gabriella Demetriades was summoned for questioning. She was questioned on 11-12 November. Arjun Rampal was then questioned the next day. Sources have revealed that the NCB suspects the doctor’s prescription submitted by the actor is fake. The medicines were found at the actor’s residence during a raid conducted by the agency last month.
The NCB is verifying details of the prescription since the team did not find any medical paper for the banned medicine while searching for it during the raid.
