Mumbai police arrested actor Rohullah Mehdi on Thursday as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking operations in the city. Mehdi, known for his role in the recently released Shahid Kapoor film Deva, was taken into custody following the probe into alleged narcotics distribution.
The arrest comes as law enforcement intensifies efforts to dismantle what investigators describe as a drug network operating in the metropolitan region. Police have launched a comprehensive investigation to map the extent of the alleged operation and identify individuals involved in the supply chain.
Authorities are currently working to establish details of Mehdi's alleged involvement and determine the scope of drug distribution connected to him. The investigation is ongoing, with police focusing on identifying potential recipients and sources within the suspected network.
Mehdi's arrest marks a significant development in the police's broader anti-narcotics operations across Maharashtra. The case has drawn attention given the actor's recent association with a major film release in the Hindi film industry.
