Both Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa have been arrested by the NCB following seizure of drugs from their house in Mumbai. The couple would be produced before a Mumbai court after their medical examination. 

A case has been registered against the accused under provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, NCB's Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede said.

Acting on a tip-off, the NCB on Saturday conducted a search at Bharti and Haarsh's office and residence as part of its probe into the alleged drug use in the entertainment industry, and seized 86.5 gm of cannabis during the search, an official from the probing agency earlier said.
