The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Friday arrested Siddharth Pithani from Hyderabad in its ongoing probe into Bollywood-drugs nexus, in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. Pithani was Rajput's former flatmate and one of those who reportedly found the actor's body hanging from the ceiling fan on June 14 last year. Pithani had been questioned by the NCB last year in connection with the probe. NCB arrested Hemant Shah alias Maharaj from Goa in connection with Rajput's death on May 7. PTI reported that an NCB team, led by zonal director Sameer Wankhede, launched a search for Pithani and traced him to Hyderabad.
