Ali Khan Tughlaq, the son of Tamil actor Mansoor Ali Khan, was arrested on Wednesday in connection with a drug trafficking case.  His arrest followed an intensive investigation by the Thirumangalam Police, who interrogated him on Tuesday. The police initiated the probe after receiving intelligence linking Tughlaq to individuals involved in the drug trade, several of whom had been recently arrested.

Authorities had earlier arrested 10 individuals, including college students, in connection with the drug trafficking network. Seyad Saki, Mohammed Riyas Ali and Faisal Ahmed were detained. Tughlaq was arrested along with three others, and all four were in police custody for further questioning.
