Agisilaos Demetriades, brother of Bollywood Actor Arjun Rampal’s girlfriend has been arrested for the third time in two years for possession of drugs, a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) official said on Saturday.
In a statement issued from London, where he is currently shooting for a film, Rampal said he was “shocked and appalled” by the developments, but added that his name was being dragged into controversies. According to NCB regional director for Mumbai and Goa, Sameer Wankhede, Demetriades is a South African national and linked to the FIR registered by the agency in connection with the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.

Reacting to the development, Rampal said, “As far as my immediate family and I are concerned, we are law abiding citizens. And while the incident involved a person who is a relative of my partner, I have no relation or relationship other than this person.

“I have faith in our legal system and whoever is on the wrong side of the law should be treated fairly as a judiciary. I have faith in the system in these matters. Let the law take its course and please refrain from associating my partner and my name with anything we have nothing to do with.”
