Police officers revealed that Sanjana’s house was raided following information from Rahul Shetty, an accused who was arrested in connection with the drug case recently.

Investigation officers revealed that Rahul Shetty was a private agent who was an expert in hosting drug parties. Shetty has previously hosted parties for top-rated celebrities in various locations in Bengaluru and outside the country.

“Rahul’s job was to bring in celebrities to these parties. He would get a commission from the profits made. He would also procure drugs that the celebrities consumed. He and Sanjana were good friends and have attended several parties together,” said a CCB official.

The arrest of Sanjana happened just a few days after actress Ragini Dwivedi was nabbed by the police for her alleged connection with the drug racket. According to reports, more celebrity arrests will happen in the coming days, as police have apparently received strict instructions from the government to demolish the drug syndicate in the state.

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.
