Actress Pooja Bhatt responds after being accused of risking the life of an NCB informant in a drug case

Actress Pooja Bhatt, defended herself on Twitter after being accused of risking the life of a Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) informant. 

Bhatt was accused by a journalist of risking the man's life by using his name in one of her Tweets. With a sigh of relief, the Bollywood actress clarified that she did not name anyone. She also advised the man to refrain from posting 'glorious selfies' on social media. 

She wrote, ‘I have not taken their name if you use your eyes to actually ‘see’ & re-read my tweet. Or is that too much to ask? Advise the said person to refrain from taking & then leaking such glorious ‘selfies’ next time as they go viral. Discretion is the better part of valour, is it not?’ 

Pooja had previously tweeted saying, ‘And then we have those, who would fail to be cast as ‘private detectives’ in the most archaic Bollywood film. Fact is stranger than fiction & replete with far more clichés. Time to change ‘Looks like a Bollywood villain’ to ‘Looks like a Pvt Detective outsourced by a Govt agency’.

Replying to the tweet, the journalist replied,“An informer can be with police/ED/CBI/NIA/NCB. & informer could be anyone. Passing information and helping busting a racket is not a crime. U are putting their lives in danger by taking their names. Drug peddlers might attack informers now. You can also help and be in a raid.”

After a selfie of Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan with an unidentified man during his recent interrogation with the Narcotics Control Bureau went viral on social media, the agency issued a statement clarifying that "the man in this picture with Aryan Khan is not an officer or employee of NCB."
