Hyderabad. Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh’s brother Aman Preet Singh and four others were arrested by Hyderabad police on Monday in an alleged drugs case, officials said. Aman was arrested along with other accused after the Telangana Anti-Narcotics Department found that 2.6 kg of cocaine was being brought to Hyderabad for sale.
All the five accused identified as Aman Preet Singh, Aniket Reddy, Prasad, Madhusudan and Nikhil Daman are currently in police custody and will be produced in court after undergoing medical examination. DCP Srinivas of Cyberabad police, Rajendra Nagar zone, said, “As they were customers of the drugs, we arrested five people and brought them to the police station. In the urine test kit, they all tested positive. All of them have been taken into custody. Now we are sending them for a detailed medical test.”
It is worth noting that Rakul Preet Singh has also been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the drug smuggling and use case related to 2022 and 2021. Last year also, the investigating agency had recorded her statement in this connection. Apart from Rakul, Rana Daggubati, Charmme Kaur, Navdeep, Ravi Teja and Puri Jagannadh were also called for questioning in the drug case.
The ED has been investigating the drug smuggling and use case for the last four years. The investigation was started after the Prohibition and Excise Department of Telangana busted a high-end drug cartel in 2017. The cartel was supplying LSD, MDMA and other narcotics.
