In the high-profile drugs case in Chhattisgarh, all accused, including Nava Malik and Vidhi Agarwal, will be presented in court on Monday. Police have arrested a total of nine suspects in this case so far. On September 6, after the two-day remand of accused Nava Malik and Vidhi Agarwal ended, they were presented before a special court. Following the hearing, the court sent both accused to judicial remand until September 15. Nava Malik, Ayan Parvez, Vidhi Agarwal, Rishiraj Tandon, Sohail Khan, Junaid Akhtar, Harsh Ahuja, and Monu Vishnoi, who have been arrested so far in the high-profile drugs case, will be presented together in court on Monday.
According to police sources, Nava and Vidhi used to visit Mumbai and Goa every month, where young men and women from affluent families participated in these all-night parties. They provided information about hotels, resorts, clubs, and farmhouses in Raipur, Nava Raipur, Mandir Hasaud, VIP Road, and Chandkhuri, where these parties were held. Vidhi’s event company ‘Behind The Scenes’ organized several events in major hotels, clubs, and marriage palaces in Raipur, including New Year celebrations.
During interrogation, it was revealed that these parties started with a group of 25-30 people, but only about 10-15 people would remain after 1 a.m. Obscene activities also took place with drugs in these farmhouses. The three had contacts with big industrialists, businessmen, CAs (Chartered Accountants), police, and administrative officers, with whom they also admitted to partying. Police have found chats from the accused’s mobile phones, on the basis of which a list of drug consumers is being prepared. These people will be called for counseling, and their families will also be informed because many parents are unaware of their children’s activities. The police are now preparing to call the owners of these farmhouses and clubs for questioning.
The police action in the Ganj police station drugs case is ongoing. Based on the identification of the arrested Nava and Ayan Parvez, four more drug peddlers were arrested on Thursday. These include Vidhi Agarwal, Rishiraj Tandon, Sohail Khan, and Junaid Akhtar. Vidhi Agarwal and Rishiraj Tandon were active as event managers and were the main faces in the city parties. Sohail Khan and Junaid Akhtar are said to be close associates of Nava and Ayan. A total of 9 accused have been arrested in this case so far.
Initially, Harsh Ahuja, Monu Vishnoi, and Deep Dhanoria were caught in this case. From them, 27.58 grams of MDMA, Rs 85,300 in cash, a car, and 5 mobile phones were recovered. After this, Nava Malik and Ayan Parvez were also arrested. In the latest action, 4 more accused have been arrested. The arrested accused are being taken into police custody from the court and questioned about backward and forward linkages. Along with this, detailed interrogation about other accused is also underway based on these linkages.
The whole case came to light on August 23, 2025, when a joint team of the Anti Crime and Cyber Unit and Ganj police station stopped a car near the Devendra Nagar overbridge. Three accused, Harsh Ahuja (23 years) resident of Raipur, Monu Vishnoi (29 years) resident of Hisar (Haryana), and Deep Dhanoria (41 years) resident of Raipur were arrested. The police recovered 27.58 grams of MDMA drugs, a Sonet car (CG 04 QJ 5466), Rs 85,300 in cash, and 5 mobile phones from them. The total value of the seized property was estimated to be around Rs 20 lakh. On this basis, a case was registered under sections 21(C), 29 Narcotic Act at Ganj police station.
