Bollywood actor Dalip Tahil’s son Dhruv was arrested on May 6 by the Anti Narcotics Cell of Mumbai Police’s crime branch for allegedly procuring drugs from a local drug dealer.
According to reports, Tahil was arrested by the Bandra unit of the ANC based on his WhatsApp chats with a drug peddler during an investigation. During the probe, it was revealed that Dhruv had transferred money into the alleged peddler’s account six times in the last few months.

He will produced before the court tomorrow.
Dalip Tahil is a veteran actor and has acted in dozens of Bollywood films including ‘Mission Mangal’ and ‘Kaho Na Pyaar Hai’.
