Kannada Actor Ragini Dwivedi Arrested for Drug Nexus by Bengaluru Police

On Thursday, two suspected drug peddlars Ravishankar and Rahul Shetty, were arrested by the CCB. Ravishankar, a Karnataka government transport department employee, was allegedly a close aide of Ragini, because of which she was summoned for questioning.

30-year-old Ragini, who has over 25 films to her credit and has won the SIIMA award eight years back, had consulted lawyers abt the case too. She had evaded questioning on Thursday citing illness. On Friday, she appeared before the CCB.

Shetty, a known name in the Kannada film circle, is a close friend of another prominent actor Sanjjanaa Galrani, who has acted in many South Indian languages. Her role has also been investigated, though she said she only knew shetty through film networks.

“As far as I know, he is a nice person, he has acted for small roles. If he has done something wrong, I don’t know why my name is getting mixed up in this,” said Sanjjanaa.
