An NCB team raided a resort in Lonavala where Agisilaos, 30, was staying on Friday. He was found in possession of marijuana and alprazolam, a banned drug. He was arrested on Sunday after questioning.


"He is part of a major drug syndicate in Bollywood. During our probe we found that he was in touch of various drug peddlers arrested in the case," said NCB officials.

The narcotics agency also has evidences to track Agisilaos’s supply chain.
