The Narcotics Control Bureau on Sunday arrested TV actor Preetika Chauhan for possession of marijuana in Machhimar, Versova. “A team of Mumbai Zonal Unit apprehended two persons at Machhimar, Versova, and succeeded in a seizure of 99 grams of Ganja from their possession, yesterday. The two persons – one Faisal & TV actor Preetika Chauhan – were arrested & produced before court,” news agency ANI tweeted quoting the NCB.

According to media reports, Chauhan and Faisal were produced before the Killa court. However, the quantum of punishment is still unknown.

The crackdown on marijuana and other drugs used in Bollywood comes in the backdrop actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide case. Rajput’s June 14 suicide shook the industry as NCB started probing the drug angle in Bollywood.

Actor Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showick was questioned by the NCB on a drug-related angle and were later arrested. However, after nearly a month, Rhea was granted bail by a Mumbai court.

The likes of Deepika Padukone, Sharddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh were also questioned in the case.

Preetika Chauhan has worked in TV serials like ‘Savdhaan India’ and ‘Devo Ke Dev Mahadev’.
