The Uttar Pradesh Anti-Narcotics Task Force (UP ANTF) has arrested a supporting actor who worked in web series such as Farzi and The Family Man in connection with an MDMA trafficking case.
The UP ANTF Agra unit arrested the accused, identified as Man Singh, from Mumbai. Officials said he had acted as a supporting artiste in several films and web series and allegedly used his association with the film industry as a cover to traffic narcotics.
According to the ANTF, Man Singh, a resident of Rajouri Garden in Delhi, was absconding in a case related to the trafficking of the banned narcotic substance MDMA. The agency said its teams had been searching for him for a long time before tracing him to Mumbai.
Officials said the accused was living at Marina Enclave Building in Malvani, Mumbai, at the time of his arrest. The ANTF alleged that Man Singh was involved in the trafficking and supply of MDMA under the guise of working in films and web series.
The arrest was made as part of the ANTF’s ongoing crackdown on narcotics trafficking networks.
