The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has sought the custody of television actor Gaurav Dixit, informing a court that he was a member of a drug cartel.

Dixit was arrested by the Mumbai zonal team of the NCB on Friday, and produced before a magistrate court, which remanded him to the probe agency's custody till August 30. The NCB had been on the lookout for the actor for the past few months after his name cropped up in the interrogation of actor Ajaz Khan and some other persons in April this year.
