Popular
Sandalwood
actress
Ragini
Dwivedi
has
reportedly
been
summoned
by
Central
Crime
Branch
(CCB)
in
connection
with
the
drug
racket
case
in
Bangalore.
According
to
Deccan
Herald,
the
actress
will
be
questioned
today
(September
3)
about
her
links,
if
any,
with
drug
peddlers.
Along
with
Ragini,
her
friend
Ravi
Shankar
has
also
been
asked
to
appear
at
the
CCB
headquarters
in
Chamrajpet
for
questioning.
Joint
Commissioner
of
Police
(Crime),
Sandeep
Patil
told
the
leading
daily
that
the
notice
had
been
served
to
Ragini
Dwivedi
and
her
friend
Ravi
Shankar.
Apart
from
the
Joint
Commissioner,
another
CCB
official
claimed
that
Ragini
and
Ravi
had
attended
some
parties
in
the
past,
where
they
are
suspected
to
have
consumed
drugs.
After
filmmaker
Indrajit
Lankesh's
shocking
revelations
about
Sandalwood
industry,
CCB
intensified
the
investigation
and
is
trying
to
find
out
alleged
links
of
several
Kannada
film
industry
celebs
with
drug
peddlers.
Apart
from
Ragini
Dwivedi,
some
media
reports
also
suggested
late
actor
Chiranjeevi
Sarja's
involvement
in
the
drug
racket.

However,
Sandalwood
stars
like
Darshan
and
Kiccha
Sudeep
came
out
in
the
late
actor's
defence
and
asked
media
not
to
speculate
as
the
police
investigation
is
still
going
on.
For
the
unversed,
a
few
days
ago,
Bengaluru
police
and
Narcotics
Control
Bureau
(NCB)
had
conducted
a
raid
in
the
city,
during
which
they
arrested
three
dealers
with
a
variety
of
drugs
in
possession.
