A Mumbai Court on Tuesday (November 10) granted bail to filmmaker Firoz Nadiadwala's wife Shabana Saeed, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau after ganja was allegedly found at her house during a raid. The drugs law enforcement agency arrested Saeed under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act on Sunday (November 8) after conducting a raid at her residence in Juhu. According to a report in PTI, the court granted her bail on a personal bond of Rs 15,000. Her lawyer argued before additional chief judicial magistrate A H Kashiskar that her client was not a drug peddler and only a small quantity of drug was seized from her place. He also told the court that Shabana Saeed is separated from Firoz Nadiadwala and has to take care of her children. The NCB had summoned Firoz Nadiadwala for questioning in connection with the drugs case. The 'Welcome' producer appeared before the agency on Monday (November 9) and recorded his statement in the drugs recovery case. In a major crackdown on drug peddlers, the agency conducted raids at Malad, Lokhandwala, Koparkhairane, Kharghar and Andheri in Mumbai and arrested five people including Saeed. The NCB has intensified its probe into the alleged Bollywood drugs case, which stemmed from Sushant Singh Rajput's death case. The federal agency summoned Arjun Rampal and his girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades after raiding their residence on November 9.  The NCB officials seized electronic gadgets from Rampal's place and asked him to appear before them on Wednesday (November 11). The Narcotics Control Bureau had earlier questioned Bollywood actresses Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan in connection with drugs related case. Deepika's name came to the fore after her alleged WhatsApp chats with former manager Karishma Prakash surfaced during the investigation. Prakash was summoned by the NCB for questioning again on November 10. Stay tuned for more updates!
