The Narcotics Control Bureau on Sunday arrested Shabana Saeed, the wife of Bollywood producer Firoz Nadiadwala, after investigators seized 10 grams of marijuana during a raid at their Juhu residence in Mumbai, PTI reported.
“We have arrested Nadiadwala’s wife under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act,” Zonal Director of NCB Sameer Wankhede said. “Further investigation is on.” Wankhede said that Nadiadwala was summoned by the drugs agency earlier in the day, but he did not show up.
The NCB official added that names of three suppliers were unearthed during investigation that cannot be revealed at this stage, according to the Hindustan Times. “We have seized commercial quantities of drugs from their possession in the entire operation,” he said.
The agency searched Nadiadwala’s home in Juhu on Sunday following the arrest of drug peddler Wahid Abdul Kadir Shaikh in Andheri West five days ago, The Indian Express reported. An investigation into Shaikh’s clients led the police to Shabana Saeed, who allegedly purchased 10 gm of cannabis from Shaikh.
“Firoz Nadiadwala’s wife Shabana Saeed was issued a notice under section 67 of the NDPS Act,” said an NCB officer. The agency issued her summons, recorded her statement and arrested her, the officer added.
