The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested comedian Bharti Singh and her writer husband Harsh Limbachiyaa. The duo was granted bail on Monday. The couple was held for alleged possession and consumption of marijuana. The NCB also seized around 86.50 gms of marijuana from their home and office. Both Harsh and Bharti have confessed that they have consumed marijuana.
Previously, actresses Deepika Padukone, Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and model-actor Arjun Rampal, among others, have been probed in an alleged drugs related case.
Since the duo are very well known in the entertainment industry circuit, many people from the TV industry have reacted to this incident.
Famous comedian Raju Srivastava has worked a lot with Bharti. He told Hindustan Times that he was unable to believe that Bharti has been arrested. He was of the opinion that this news is untrue.

Much like Iqbal, Subuhii too is of the opinion that after Bollywood, the TV industry is being targeted. She mentioned it is not that the consumption of drugs is only restricted to the entertainment industry. Substantiating her stance, she added that the issue at large needs to be addressed as many people outside the industry are also consuming drugs.
