Hyderabad Police arrested Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh’s brother, Aman Preet Singh, along with four others, in connection with a drug case on Monday. The Telangana Anti-Narcotics Department found that 2.6 kilograms of cocaine were being transported to Hyderabad for sale.
The police team uncovered the drug racket and identified 30 customers involved in purchasing the contraband, including Aman Preet Singh. The five accused, identified as Aman Preet Singh, Aniketh Reddy, Prasad, Madhusudhan, and Nikhil Daman, are currently in police custody. They will be presented in court following a medical examination.
Srinivas, the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) for the Cyberabad Police, Rajendra Nagar Zone, stated, “As consumers, we picked up five people and brought them to the police station. In the urine test kit, all of them were found positive. They have been taken into custody. We are now sending them for a detailed medical examination.”
This incident is notable because Rakul Preet Singh herself was summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with a drug trafficking and consumption case in 2022 and 2021. Her statement was recorded by the probe agency last year. Other celebrities, including Rana Daggubati, Charmme Kaur, Navdeep, Ravi Teja, and Puri Jagannadh, were also questioned in the drug case.
The ED has been investigating drug trafficking and consumption cases for the past four years. This probe began after the Telangana Prohibition and Excise Department busted a high-end drug cartel in 2017. The cartel was found to be supplying LSD, MDMA, and other narcotics.
