The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested a TV and film actress while accepting 99 grams of ganja from a drug peddler in Andheri on Sunday.

The actress, an engineering graduate, has acted in some serials and a Hindi film. The NCB action has its origins in its investigation of the drugs angle in the Sushant Singh Rajput death case.

NCB zonal director Sameer Wankhede's team laid a trap and caught the actress while accepting the ganja from Faisal Yasin Shaikh (20), said to be a street peddleroperating in Versova.

Booked under the NDPS Act, the actress and Faisal were produced before a holiday court and remanded in NCB custody till November 8.
