The Central Crime Branch has summoned Ragini and her friend, a government worker, for questioning on Thursday.
The Bengaluru Police on Wednesday issued a notice to Sandalwood actor Ragini Dwivedi to appear for questioning in connection with the drug abuse case. Joint Commissioner of Police Sandeep Patil, said that Ragini and her friend, who is a government employee, were issued summons. They are to appear at the Central Crime Branch's headquarters in Chamarajpet on Thursday. The CCB issued these summons after filmmaker Indrajit Lankesh submitted a list of Sandalwood celebrities to the sleuths, claiming that they are avid users of synthetic drugs, Deccan Herald reported. The CCB suspects that the duo had attended several parties together and are suspected of having consumed drugs. According to the DH report, Indrajit Lankesh has been summoned for the second time for questioning on Thursday. The CCB had asked him to furnish proof of his allegations of drug abuse in Sandalwood. The CCB has meanwhile begun conducting surprise checks on vehicles. On Wednesday, vehicles at the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation bus terminal in Majestic were checked. This was after the CCB suspected an inter-state drug racket, TNIE reported. Both state-run and private vehicles were searched at various checkpoints in the city too. According to Sandeep Patil, the drug peddlers who were arrested allegedly confessed that the product was brought into the city via buses and trains late into the night to avoid detection. Meanwhile, the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) has said that it will take action against actors and technicians consuming or selling drugs. The KFCC's members met on Wednesday and its President DR Jayaraj said that the body would report those consuming drugs to the police. “If any actor or any member of the film industry is proven guilty of having consumed drugs or sold them, the chamber will initiate action against them," Jayaraj added. Jayaraj also maintained that it was wrong to blame the entire industry of drug abuse due to the activities of a few.
