Two Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) officers linked to the ongoing Bollywood-drug nexus were suspended on Thursday.
One of them had been investigating the recent case of comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s case. The action was prompted by their failure to appear for the hearing in their bail application, Republic TV reported.
The investigating agency has also suspended Special Public Prosecutor Atul Sarpande. He was not present when the bail application hearing was underway at the Qilla court.
Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa were granted bail by the Mumbai court on November 23, where the officers were allegedly absent, the report added
Meanwhile, the NCB has moved the Sessions Court in Mumbai, seeking cancellation of the celebrity couple’s bail. The agency has sought a custodial interrogation of Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa in their plea, reported Republic TV.
