Tollywood drugs case: All film personalities let off the hook?

Remember the infamous Tollywood drug case, where the big and the mighty from the film industry were found to be involved. They were quizzed and their names did rounds in the newspapers. Ever wondered what happened to the case? Well, no one knows.

One RTI activist has dug out the details of the case from the Excise department. Wonder of wonders, not even one Tollywood personality has been named in the four chargesheets that were filed in connection with the case. There were 62 Tollywood film personalities, who were questioned by the cops. But, not one of them is named in the chargesheet. This means all the 62 have been given a clean chit.

Among those who have been let off as innocents are: director Puri Jagan, Shyam K Naidu, actor Subbaraju, hero Tarun, Navadeep, Chinna, actress Charmme Kaur, item girl Mumaith Khan, hero Raviteja, his car driver Srinivas, young hero Tanish and hero Nandu.

It is clear that the whole drug probe was a mere eyewash. Of the 12 cases registered, only four chargesheets were filed and in only one case, South Africal Ruffel Alex Victor, the cocaine smuggler, was named. He was arrested in August 2017.
