"Everyone knows Ajaz bhai is involved in several social initiatives. He has been framed in this case. He is not that kind of person," Sheikh had said in his post. Khan, a former Bigg Boss contestant, was arrested on Monday from a hotel room in CBD Belapur in Navi Mumbai and "ecstasy" tablets were allegedly recovered from him, police had said on Tuesday.
Goa BJP minority cell President asked Sheikh for written clarification
After Sheikh's video went viral on social media, the Goa BJP minority cell President Sheikh Jinah Friday asked the former for a written clarification. "I have cautioned him against posting such videos on social media. The actor has been arrested by police and they are conducting investigations. It's not fair for us to sit here and comment without knowing the reality," Jinah said.
