A
few
days
ago,
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
busted
a
big
drug
racket
in
Bengaluru.
After
the
investigation,
various
Sandalwood
celebrities
came
under
the
radar
of
drug
controversy.
For
the
unversed,
filmmaker
Indrajit
Lankesh
also
revealed
some
big
names
from
Kannada
film
industry
to
the
Central
Crime
Branch
(CCB).
Shockingly,
late
actor
Chiranjeevi
Sarja's
name
has
also
come
out
in
the
drug
racket.
Well,
that
was
indeed
a
shocker
for
his
fans,
but
his
dear
friend
and
actor
Darshan
condemned
the
people
bringing
up
Chiranjeevi
Sarja's
name
in
the
row.
For
the
unversed,
Chiru
passed
away
in
June
2020,
due
to
cardiac
arrest.
While
interacting
with
a
regional
TV
news
channel,
Darshan
said
that
if
Chiranjeevi
Sarja
was
alive,
he
would
have
answered
all
the
questions.
He
asked
people
not
to
bring
his
name
without
any
proof.
Darshan
expressed
his
displeasure
over
the
whole
scenario
happening
in
Sandalwood
and
said
that
the
controversy
will
not
just
affect
the
Kannada
film
industry,
but
the
state.
The
Challenging
Star
even
urged
media
not
to
speculate
the
names
of
any
actors
until
police
reveal
it
officially.
While
speaking
to
media,
Darshan
admitted
that
he
has
not
come
across
any
drug
abuse
in
Sandalwood
in
25
years
of
his
career.
But
the
actor
hoped
that
the
truth
will
come
out
soon,
after
investigation.
Apart
from
Darshan,
Kiccha
Sudeep
also
condemned
people
for
connecting
Chiranjeevi
Sarja's
name
to
the
drug
controversy.
On
a
related
note,
Darshan
will
be
seen
in
Roberrt,
which
is
being
helmed
by
Tharun
Sudhir.
The
film
also
stars
Asha
Bhat,
Jagapathi
Babu
and
Ravi
Kishan
in
pivotal
roles.
