“Some actresses do consume drugs at the parties. I am aware that they consume the banned substances inside the vanity vans on the sets. It’s true that there is a link between Sandalwood and the drug mafia. I’ve heard that some budding artistes and those wanting to hog limelight within no time consume drugs at rave parties,” said Lankesh.

As the revelations made by Lankesh have now gone viral, the Central Crime Branch has issued a notice on him and has asked him to disclose further details regarding the operation of drug mafia in the industry.

Indrajit Lankesh who is also a noted journalist revealed that he is ready to pass all the information he knows to the police. However, he urged the government to ensure his security, so that he can divulge all the details without any hesitation.

Lankesh also made it clear that no big stars in Sandalwood are involved in drug usage, as they are well bothered about their image. The director also urged the police to conduct a thorough investigation to curb the clandestine clutches of drug mafia in Sandalwood.

“Why was the autopsy not conducted after the death of an actor recently? A car was involved in an accident some years ago at South End Circle in Bengaluru. It was reported that drugs were recovered from inside the car and there were some artistes inside. What is the status of the case? Why did the police not conduct a thorough investigation? Why did the police not initiate action against those inside the car,” added Lankesh.

He also requested police officers to determine whether any politicians are also involved in the drug racket.

CCB joint commissioner of police Sandeep Patil revealed that Indrajit Lankesh will record his statement on Monday. He also added that inputs from people like Lankesh are quite crucial to demolish drug mafia.
