Popular comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh
Limbachiyaa were questioned by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai after a search was conducted at their residence at Lokhandwala
Complex in Andheri earlier on Saturday.

The NCB had recovered a small quantity of cannabis at their
residence, an official said. Sameer Wankhede, NCB’s chief investigator as well
as Zonal Director, who was also present during the raid, led the team that
conducted the search, several media houses reported. “Singh’s
name had cropped up during the interrogation of a drug peddler,” he said.

NCB is also carrying out searches at two
more locations in the city, the official added.

The NCB started investigating drug use in
the Bollywood fraternity following Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput death by
suicide at his Bandra home on June 14, 2020.

They have been looking over
Whatsapp chats involving alleged drug use among several prominent
personalities like Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Rakul Preet Singh, Deepika
Padukone, and Firoz Nadiadwala. 

Bharti Singh has climbed the ladder in the
TV industry appearing in many comedy and reality shows on TV. She is currently
seen in the famous TV show, the Kapil Sharma Show.
