The Navi Mumbai Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) that arrested Ajaz Khan on Monday, had received a tip-off about a person with a large drug haul who would be coming to a hotel in Belapur. The cops were unaware that the person they were looking for was actor Ajaz Khan.

As per sources in the Navi Mumbai ANC, "It was after his arrest inside the hotel that he told us he was a Bollywood actor and former Big Boss contestant. We had laid the trap on the basis of some specific information, but, the quantity of drugs we were expecting to recover as per our information and what we recovered from him was very low."
