The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday arrested Rahul Verma a DJ-Rapper and Zakir Sheikh an associate of underworld don, the late Karim Lala’s grandson Chinku Pathan, for manufacturing and selling narcotic drugs. NCB has fastened its hunt to nab the drug kingpin who is running the drugs syndicate in Bollywood. The drugs case emerged after the death of Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
Going by the reports of TOI, NCB on Thursday conducted raids in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai, seized drugs, weapons, two high-end cars, and Rs 2.1 crore. It launched a manhunt for Pathan’s key accomplice, Arif Bhujwala, from whose house officials seized 5.7kg of mephedrone, 1kg methamphetamine, and 6.1kg ephedrine. Officials found a ‘laboratory’ below Bhujwala’s house, where a huge stash of packaging material, utensils, weighing machines, and other apparatus used to manufacture the contraband, were found.

The news agency quoted an NCB officer who said, "Pathan and Bhujwala used to mix drugs, pack them in small packets and paste stickers declaring them as sugar. We suspect the accused hid drugs among other material and export it mis-declaring it."
On Wednesday, the NCB claimed to have busted the racket and arrested Parvez Khan alias Chinku Pathan, who is related to underworld don Karim Lala active in Mumbai during the 1970s and 1980s.
