Mumbai police on Thursday detained Agisilaos Demetriades, brother of Bollywood actor Arjun Rampal's partner Gabriella Demetriades in Goa as part of a preventive action initiated by the NCB, an official said. The Mumbai unit of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) had initiated action against him by issuing an order last year under the Prevention of Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (PITNDPS) Act, he said.

Once Demetriades is brought to Mumbai, he will be sent to the Arthur Road prison in the city, the official said. "NCB Mumbai had initiated the action against Demetriades. An order under the PITNDPS Act was issued against him on September 21 last year," he said. Demetriades had challenged the order in the Goa bench of the Bombay High Court on March 28 this year, he said, adding that his plea was rejected by the court.
