Aman Preet Singh, brother of actor Rakul Preet Singh, has been arrested, along with four others, for alleged consumption of cocaine in Hyderabad.
"We seized 199 grams of cocaine worth Rs 35 lakh, two passports, two bikes, 10 cell phones and other incriminating material from their possession," said the Telangana police after raid on a flat in Hydershakotla in Narsingi.
The Telangana Anti Narcotics Bureau, Cyberabad police's Special Operations Team (SOT) and Rajendranagar police arrested five drug sellers that included two Nigerians, in selling cocaine to high profile customers in the city.
Cyberabad Commissioner of Police Avinash Mohanty said that Aman is one among those customers.
Out of 13 consumers, five were arrested and all the five persons got positive report for cocaine when their urine samples were tested.
The five arrested are: Aniketh, Prasad, Aman, Madhu and Nikhil.
"It is an ardent request from Telangana Anti-Narcotics Bureau to the youth/students not to fall prey to drugs and request the parents to keep a watch on the activities of their children and feel free to approach police," the Telangana police said in a statement.
Last year, Rakul Preet Singh was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a drug trafficking and consumption case. The 33-year-old actor's statement was recorded by the probe agency in this connection in 2022 and 2021 as well.
