Following a tip-off, a team from the Mumbai police raided K Star early Monday morning. The police produced him in a Belapur court, where they got custody till October 25. An officer from Navi Mumbai's Anti-Narcotics Cell said, "We had received a tip-off about a drug peddler and when we raided the hotel, we found him in possession of drugs. We conducted a medical test on him and are awaiting the reports. We have registered a case against him and have seized 2.30 gms of MDM worth Rs 2,20,000."
Meanwhile, the owner of K Star hotel has insisted that Khan was never in his hotel and said he had CCTV footage to prove it. A senior official at K Star said, "I learnt about the incident in the morning. When I asked my watchman and receptionist why didn't inform me about the raid, they said Khan had not come inside the hotel. He was in the parking lot. We don't have a camera outside the hotel, but our cameras inside don't show Ajaz Khan anywhere inside."
Mahesh Morepatil, Khan's lawyer, said, "My client was standing near the parking area, when two girls came and pretended to be fans and took some pictures with him and gave him a small gift. Immediately after that the police came and caught him. The girls had vanished by then."
