Mumbai: The Narcotics Control Bureau on Thursday arrested Bollywood makeup artist and hair stylist Suraj Godambe and seized cocaine from him in Mumbai, an official said.

The NCB, which is conducting a probe into the alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus, apprehended Godambe after a raid, the official said.

Godambe is a popular makeup artist and hair stylist and has worked with some big production houses, he said.

He will be produced before a court later in the day, the official said.
