Devon Ke Dev Mahadev actress Preetika Chauhan was Saturday, 25 October arrested along with a fan named Faisal after being caught red handed buying drugs. The NCB procured 99 grams of marijuana from the two and they were later produced before a court magistrate for possession of illegal drugs.

Preetika who has also worked in shows like Saavdhan India and Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman was arrested from Versova after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) deployed officers in two places in the area in plain clothes as a part on an ongoing operation. 5 individuals have been arrested in this operation that still continues.

The NCB tells ANI, “A team of Mumbai Zonal Unit apprehended two persons at Machhimar, Versova, and succeeded in a seizure of 99 grams of Ganja from their possession, yesterday. The two persons - one Faisal & TV actor Preetika Chauhan - were arrested & produced before court.”

 The two will now remain in judicial custody till November 8.

NCB began its drug probe after it was roped in to investigate the drug angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case after evidence of drug use by the late actor and his associates was found in WhatsApp chats by the Enforcement Directorate.

With many leads from the case the central agency has so far made several arrests and also questioned many actors who whose names came up during the investigation.
