The development came nearly a month after the NCB has nabbed a South African national Agisilaos Demetriades – Gabriella’s brother - from Lonavala (Pune).
The NCB contended that Demetriades was part of a larger drug syndicate operating in Bollywood, which is the subject of intense probe after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14.
Demetriades is allegedly a drug supplier to peddlers who were said to be in contact with Sushant and others like his ex-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik Chakraborty.
