The agency is currently probing the details. 

Case registered against Sanam & Abigail

Apart from this, the NCB is also raiding actor-choreographer couple Abigail Pande and Sanam Johar’s residence. Yesterday the duo was called in for questioning by the agency after their names emerged in the alleged celebrity drug cartel that the NCB is probing.
