Besides another 10 gms of ganja was recovered from another accused Wahid A. Kadir Shaikh, alias Sultan.
Saeed’s statement was recorded after which she was placed under arrest, said the NCB official.
There was speculation that Firoz Nadiadwala is likely to be summoned for interrogation, but there was no confirmation from the officials.
The operation is part of the ongoing investigations over the past three months to unravel the nexus between Bollywood and the drugs mafia in the country’s film capital.
The Nadiadwalas are a prominent family of film-makers credited with several blockbuster films and introducing major stars to Bollywood in the past over three decades. Nadiadwala’s major productions include the “Hera Pheri” series, “Welcome”, “Awara Pagal Deewana”, “Aarakshan” and others.
