Bollywood actor, Rakul Preet Singh’s brother, Aman Preet Singh found himself in a pickle as he, along with four others were arrested by the Hyderabad Police on Monday in a drug case, officials said.
Earlier in the day, Aman and the other accused were arrested after the Telangana Anti-Narcotics Department discovered 2.6 kgs of cocaine being transported to Hyderabad for sale. The police team dismantled the drug racket and identified 30 customers, including Aman Preet Singh.
The five accused were identified as Aman Preet Singh, Aniketh Reddy, Prasad, Madhusudhan and Nikhil Daman, are currently in police custody and will be produced in court after medical examination.
