During an interview with the news agency, NCB Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede claimed that Ajaz's name came up during an interrogation of Shadab Shaikh alias Batata. Shadab is a well-known drug dealer who was recently arrested in a drug-related case.
A Mumbai court denied Ajaz Khan's bail application in the narcotics case last month. Eijaz has appeared in films such as 'Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap,' 'Lamhaa,' and 'Allah Ke Banday,' among others. During his time on Salman Khan's 'Bigg Boss 7,' he drew a lot of attention.

Gaurav Dixit Drug connection with actor Ajaz Khan
The actor Ajaz Khan, who was arrested for narcotics possession, will remain in prison. The actor's request for bail was just denied by the court. “The bail has been refused by the honorary NDPS court since the charges against him are serious,” Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede said in an interview.Khan was arrested under the NDPS Act's sections 8C, 27A, 28, 29, and 32, and has been in custody for almost four months.
Gaurav Dixit, an actor, has now joined him in prison. Ajaz Khan was allegedly supplied with the narcotics by Dixit. For over four months, he had been on the run. Shadab Batata, who was detained by the NCB with drugs worth Rs 2 crores in the month of March, has a clear link to both Ajaz Khan and Gaurav Dixit.
“In the Shadab Batata case, we have already arrested four persons, including Ajaz Khan, therefore Gaurav becomes extremely significant as far as the network is concerned,” Wankhede stated in response to Gaurav's detention. We also seized narcotics from his residence.”
