The extension by the court came in after the NCB officials requested that they needed time to interrogate Ajaz Khan, in connection to the seizure made at TV actor Gaurav Dixit’s residence. The lead regarding Gaurav Dixit dealing in drugs was generated through Ajaz Khan. The officials also informed the court that Ajaz Khan consumed drugs himself that he procured from Shadab Batata. Not only this but the former Bigg Boss 7 contestant also reportedly peddled those drugs.

Controversies and Ajaz Khan go hand-in-hand. The actor has been mired in several controversies over the years. He was also one of the most controversial contestants of BB 7.
