The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on Monday called one of India’s most famous paanwalas, Muchhad Paanwala — Jaishankar Tiwari — for questioning. He was called after NCB officers found narcotics substances in his paan shop located at Kemps Corner. Officers said his name cropped up during the questioning of one Karan Sajnani, a British national, arrested for supplying drugs in many states in India and his alleged link with the international drug cartel. 

The NCB is also probing if Tiwari was using narcotics substances such as MP Joint, which was recovered from his shop, to make his paans tastier and to get his customers addicted to them and whether he was giving them to select customers.
