According to the anti-drugs agency NCB, Bharti and Limbachiyaa accepted that they use narcotic substances.

"Both Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa accepted consuming ganja. Ms Singh was placed under arrest under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act," the NCB release read.

According to an NCB official, quoted by news agency PTI, Ms Singh's name emerged during questioning of a drug peddler. The agency also carried out searches at two other locations in Mumbai, the official added.
