Of those arrested, 12 are women and one of them had taken part in TV reality show 'Bigg Boss', while four other women are linked to the South Indian film industry, he said.
The villas were raided on the basis of a tip-off, Nashik Rural Superintendent of Police Sachin Patil told PTI.

One of the women was a 'Bigg Boss' contestant," he said, adding that the accused were later sent for medical examination.
They have been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, the SP added.
