Rampal's troubles mounted last month as the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) grilled him for nearly 7 hours even as his Australian friend Paul Bartel was arrested in a drug-related case investigation. As per reports, Bartel was in regular touch with Agisialos Demetriades, who is an alleged drug peddler and the brother of Gabriella Demetriades, the live-in partner of Rampal. Authorities had seized Hashish and Alprazolam tablets from him.
Reports say that the NCB had said that medicine requires a doctor's prescription. Rampal during questioning had said that he has a prescription for the tablets and that he uses it as painkillers.
As part of the investigations in NCB drugs case, over 25 persons have been arrested so far and more than 50 - including Bollywood personalities, actors, actresses, some foreigners, drug suppliers and peddlers, etc have been grilled by the NCB to unravel the nexus.
Those under the NCB radar include Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik Chakraborty, Arjun Rampal, Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiya, among others.
