Mumbai, Sep 2: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Wednesday arrested an alleged contraband dealer who has "links" with the drugs trafficking case pertaining to the death case of actor Sushant Singh Rajput, officials said.

The man identified as Zaid is understood to be involved in the supply of narcotics like bud or curated marijuana to the high-end party circles of Mumbai.

The best quality of bud is sold at the rate of about Rs 5,000 per gram, NCB officials said.

Agency sleuths claimed he was arrested after they obtained some "vital leads" into the narcotics case registered against Rajput's live-partner Rhea Chakraborty and others.

The agency last week had arrested two men for alleged drug trafficking in the western metropolis and it is understood that the leads against the detained man came after questioning them.

Some more such operators based in Maharashtra, Delhi and Goa are under the scanner of the agency, they said.

A special NCB team from Delhi, headed by deputy director (operations) K P S Malhotra, is camping in the city to take forward this probe. The team also includes agency officers from Mumbai and has been constituted by NCB Director General Rakesh Asthana.

The agency filed a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) after the Enforcement Directorate, also probing the death case of the 34-year-old actor, shared with it a report after it cloned two mobile phones of Rhea.

As per officials, the mobile phone chats and messages indicated procurement and consumption of drugs and these leads were shared by the ED with the NCB and the CBI. PTI NES

Kollam: The Chithara police on Sunday arrested 26-year-old Instagram influencer Mubeena, accusing her of stealing 17 sovereigns of gold ornaments from her sister-in-law’s residence. 

The complaint was filed by Muneera, who reported that her wedding chain (6 sovereigns) and a bangle (1 sovereign), along with other ornaments, were found missing in early October. Muneera alleged that Mubeena took the gold while the family was out of the house.

After reviewing CCTV footage, police identified Mubeena as the individual responsible for the theft on September 30. Though she initially denied involvement, Mubeena later confessed, citing a desire to fund a lavish lifestyle as her motive.

“During further questioning, Mubeena admitted to a prior incident of stealing gold from a friend’s house,” the police stated. She was taken into custody under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), signaling a more thorough investigation into her past activities.
