Mumbai: The NCB has recovered large quantities of banned drugs from actor Gaurav Dixit’s house on Friday, after revealing his name during interrogation in a drugs case by former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan’s.

The NCB conducted a raid at the actor’s flat in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala on Friday evening when he was not home. Drugs such as MD, MDMA (commonly known as ecstasy) and hashish were recovered from the flat. Packaging accessories for the drugs were also found at the actor’s house. Gaurav Dixit, who has worked in a couple of small movies and done minor roles on television, is on the run, officials said.

When the actor returned to his building with his flatmate, a foreign national woman, and saw the NCB team, they fled the scene. Actor Ajaz Khan was arrested by the NCB on Wednesday, a day after he was detained for questioning over restricted drugs found at his house. The agency said it had found alprazolam tablets from his residence during searches in the city’s Andheri and Lokhandwala areas. Gaurav Dixit has two films ‘Marudhar Express‘ and ‘Diary of a Butterfly‘ to his credit.
