Mumbai's famous Muchhad Paanwala - Ramkumar Tiwari who was arrested on Tuesday in a drugs case, has been granted bail by the court on Rs. 15,000 cash bond.

However, NCB's attorney Atul Sarpande revealed that Tiwari will have to report to NCB as and when summoned. He also revealed that quantity of narcotics substance seized from him was small.

Tiwari was sent to judicial custody by the Magistrate Court on Tuesday.

According to the NCB, Karan Sajnani, a British citizen who was arrested on Saturday, supplied half kg of narcotics substance to Tiwari, which has been recovered from the latter's warehouse.

The landmark shop at Kemps Corner, near Malabar Hill, highlights the ear-to-ear bushy moustache of the founder, his sons and grandsons.

Operating since nearly 45 years, the outlet later became a rage among the people, attracting top film stars, businessmen, politicians, and other celebs for his lip-smacking post-meal chewy munchies.
