Drugs case: Special NDPS court sends Regel Mahakal to 14-day judicial custody

Regel Mahakal

, who was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau on December 9, has been sent to 14-day judicial custody by a special NDPS court today. He was arrested for allegedly supplying

drugs

and was taken for a medical examination today. He was arrested from Lokhandwala this week and the NCB had also seized from him a contraband, 'Malana cream', worth Rs 2.5 crore.



Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede had confirmed to ETimes that with this arrest the NCB had broked an entire chain of suppliers and that Regel was connected to those who dealt with Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik. "Azam Shaikh is the boss of Regel who used to supply drugs to Anuj Keshwani who further sold drugs to Kaizan who dealt with

the Rhea-Showik

syndicate," Sameer Wankhede had told ETimes.

The NCB has been probing the alleged drug angle after the Enforcement Directorate had shared with them WhatsApp chats allegedly involving drugs. Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty and her brother Showik were also arrested by the NCB and later granted bail.
