A
special
court
for
NDPS
(Narcotic
Drugs
and
Psychotropic
Substances)
in
Bangalore
reportedly
rejected
the
bail
plea
of
actresses
Sanjjanaa
Galrani,
and
Ragini
Dwivedi
and
Rahul's
bail
plea
on
Monday
(September
28)
in
connection
with
the
infamous
Sandalwood
drug
racket
case.
As
per
IANS
report,
the
arguments
on
the
bail
pleas
of
these
actresses
and
other
accused
will
be
held
on
September
30.
Notably,
the
special
court
for
NDPS
has
also
rejected
anticipatory
bail
applications
filed
by
two
accused
Vinay
Kumar
and
Shiva
Prakash,
who
tried
to
evade
arrest
till
now.
The
report
further
suggests
that
the
Central
Crime
Branch
(CCB)
is
searching
for
Vivek
Oberoi's
brother-in-law
Aditya
Alva,
who
has
been
named
in
the
case.
For
the
unversed,
the
special
court
has
granted
permission
to
Enforcement
Directorate
(ED)
on
September
24,
after
they
urged
the
court
to
question
five
accused-
Ragini
Dwivedi,
Sanjjanaa
Galrani,
Virender
Khanna,
Rahul
Thonse
and
Ravishankar
under
the
provisions
of
the
Prevention
of
Money
Laundering
Act
(PML
Act).
"For
the
purpose
of
investigation,
it
is
necessary
to
record
the
statements
of
the
respondents.
Their
written
statements
are
very
much
essential
for
the
money-laundering
investigation
which
is
admissible
evidence
before
the
court,"
ED
had
stated.
Meanwhile,
Actress
Ragini
Dwivedi's
father
Col
Rakesh
Kumar
Dwivedi
had
expressed
his
frustration
over
the
delay
in
the
bail
hearing.
He
told
Times
of
India,
"Those
in
custody
are
innocent
until
they
are
proven
guilty.
We
have
full
faith
in
the
judicial
system,
but
the
delay
is
frustrating."
