It was around a few days back that Indrajit Lokesh, a Sandalwood director opened up about the drug usage in the entertainment industry. Following the revelations of Lokesh, Bengaluru Central Crime Branch (CCB) triggered an investigation, and they soon arrested Anoop Mohammed, a Kerala resident.

Yesterday, CCB arrested Ravishankar, a friend of Sandalwood actress Ragini Dwivedi. Today morning, investigation officers raided Ragini Dwivedi’s residence in Yelehanka, and they took the actress to the CCB headquarters for further interrogation.

As the CCB is intensifying their efforts to curb the drug rackets in Bengaluru, more arrests are expected in the coming hours. According to the latest updates, the investigation officers are apparently planning to question more Sandalwood celebrities.

Earlier, Indrajit Lokesh who is also a prominent journalist had revealed that at least 15 people in Sandalwood are directly involved in the drug racket. However, he made it clear that no big names are involved in this racket, as they are very much concerned about their public image.

In the meantime, PK Firoz, Youth league leader in Kerala has claimed that Bineesh Kodiyeri, son of CPI(M) secretary is having illicit links with Anoop Mohammed, the prime accused in the drug case. However, Bineesh revealed that he has no connections with the drug racket. But Bineesh made it clear that Anoop was his friend, and has helped him financially once.
