For the second time in a month, the Narcotics Control Bureau on Monday grilled model-turned-actor Arjun Rampal in the ongoing probe into the drugs nexus with Bollywood being probed by the central agency, officials said here.
Rampal, 47, was summoned last week, but he had written to the NCB seeking time till December 22, citing some 'personal' commitments.
Going by the reports of Dainik Bhaskar, the NCB quoted a relative of the actor as saying that he had made a backdated prescription of Clonazepam, a sedative drug, from a doctor in Delhi. This prescription was found from Rampal's house. This medicine can be taken from the medical store only at the prescription of a doctor.
The NCB contacted the doctor and also took a statement. A statement from a doctor in Mumbai was also taken who wrote a prescription to Rampal.
