He has been called to NCB office tomorrow (December 16) for further questioning in the case.
NCB team is conducting a probe into the alleged Bollywood drugs nexus following the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
This is the second time that the NCB will question the model-turned-actor in the drug case.
He was questioned earlier by the agency on November 13 for around seven hours. This time he was summoned after the NCB obtained some information during interrogation of some of the people arrested in the drug case, an official said.
Last month NCB also conducted searches at Rampal's residence in Bandra area of Mumbai and seized electronic gadgets and some medicines banned under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
His girlfriend Gabriella Demtriades was also questioned by the agency for two days last month in the case. Her brother Agisilaos Demetriades was also arrested by the NCB in the case in October and it was found that he was in touch with many Bollywood celebrities, the official said.
Rampal's friend Paul Bartel was also earlier arrested by the NCB in the drug case.
NCB had earlier arrested Rajput's girlfriend, actress Rhea Chakraborty, her brother Showik, some employees of the late film star and a few others under sections of the NDPS Act.
