Arjun Rampal’s girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades’ brother Agisilaos Demetriades was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Goa in a drugs case. Now, Arjun who is currently shooting in London has released a statement saying that he is ‘shocked and taken aback with this latest development’. He stated, “It’s unfortunate that my name is being unnecessarily dragged in every publication though I have no association whatsoever.”
“As far as my family and I are concerned, my direct family and I are law-abiding citizens. And while the incident involves a person who is a relative of my partner, I have no other connection or relationship other than that with this person,” added Rampal.
He also requested the media to not make headlines using his name as he and his family are not related and it is “causing hurt and confusion” for his own family and the people he has a professional relationship with. He also said that he has faith in our legal system and “whoever is on the wrong side on the law, should be treated as the judiciary deems fit.”
“Let the law take its course and kindly refrain from attaching my partner’s and my name to something we have nothing to do with. I appreciate all your support and humbly request you to be honest and sensitive in this regard,” concluded Arjun.
As per reports, the Narcotics Control Bureau said in a statement that Agisilaos was arrested on Friday for illicit possession of the drugs they recovered. He has been sent to judicial custody. Last year too he was arrested by the NCB but was released on bail.
