A recent drug raid in Bengaluru has shed light on the usage of drugs in Sandalwood. Filmmaker Indrajit Lankesh recently went on record to state that a certain part of the industry consumes drugs and he is ready to expose the names.
He further went on record to say that ‘no one should taint the industry.’ He further stated that he has received a letter from the city police commissioner’s office asking him to share all the information which he has agreed to share. He further elaborated that there is a possibility of the involvement of the Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce.
It’s now being reported that the Narcotics Control Bureau has submitted names found in a notebook (that contains names of numerous celebrities) for further action. The NCB is also set to issue a notice to the list of actors, actresses, and music directors that are named in the notebook.
In an interaction with Deccan Herald, Indrajit further revealed, “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.”
While these recent revelations have left the industry in shock, the drug use angle is also being probed in late Bollywood actor, Sushant Singh Rajput’s death probe.
The case is currently being investigated by the CBI who will also be probing into a drug angle. His girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty recently spoke about the late actor’s alleged consumption of illegal drugs. A few screenshots from her chat were leaked online which claim that she has also consumed drugs.
