The latest update in the Sandalwood Drug Scandal is that the Karnataka High Court dismissed the bail applications of Kannada film actress Ragini Dwivedi and Sanjjanaa Galrani. The duo was arrested by the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch Police in September this year. Aditya Alva, son of late minister Jeevaraj Alva and brother-in-law of Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi is still absconding. Supreme Court advocate KV Dhananjay spoke about the case and explained why the female actors were still behind bars. He also went to add that Aditya Alva’s absence has only strengthened the case against him and others. It must be noted that the CCB intensified its investigations after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested three persons allegedly supplying drugs to singers and actors in the film industry on August 28. The bureau claimed that the racket, running since 2015, was helmed by Bengaluru-based Anikha Dinesh who was assisted by Anoop Mohammed and Rijesh Ravichandran from Kerala. Large quantities of Ecstasy pills and LSD blots worth Rs 20 lakh were recovered from an apartment in Bengaluru.
