Actor Arjun Rampal has been in headlines since last few days for all the wrong reasons. Several news outlets are associating his name with a drug case. Apparently, Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested Agisilaos Demetriades, who is brother of Arjun Rampal's girlfriend Gabriella Demetriades, in an ongoing drug case. Media outlets took the ball and started reporting the case for having a distant link with Arjun.

This unnecessary name dropping has stunned Arjun and he had to issue a public statement to clarify that he had nothing to do with the case. He stated, "Dear Friends, Followers & Public, I'm as shocked and taken aback as you are with this latest development today. It's unfortunate that my name is being unnecessarily dragged in every publication though I have no association whatsoever. As far as my family and I are concerned, my direct family and I are law-abiding citizens. And while the incident involves a person who is a relative of my partner, I have no other connection or relationship other than that with this person."

Arjun further continued, "I request the media to not make headlines using my name as we are NOT related and this is causing hurt and confusion for my own family and the people I have a professional relationship with. I have faith in our legal system and whoever is on the wrong side on the law, should be treated as the judiciary deems fit. My trust is in the system in these matters. Let the law take its course and kindly refrain from attaching my partner's and my name to something we have nothing to do with. I appreciate all your support and humbly request you to be honest and sensitive in this regard."

The actor will soon be seen agaisnt Kangana Ranaut in the film 'Dhaakad'.
