    Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal appeared before the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for questioning today, the second time in just over a month. The actor had been summoned by the central agency in a drug-related case that has seen several Bollywood names crop up.
    The 47-year-old had been summoned last week, but he had written to the NCB seeking time till December 21, citing some 'personal' commitments. He had earlier appeared before the agency on November 13, when he was interrogated for almost 7 hours.

    Last month the NCB had raided his home and taken away nearly a dozen electronic gadgets.

    Besides Rampal, the NCB has questioned his South African girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades and her brother Agisialos Demetriades, who was arrested and later secured bail. One of Rampal's friends Paul Bartel was also arrested last month.

    The NCB initiated the high-profile probe into the Bollywood drugs angle after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput on June 14.
