Speaking of the cases, no charge sheets were created against any actor due to a lack of evidence, however, the agency has summoned the celebrities to appear for questioning from September 2 to 22. For the uninitiated, in June 2017, authorities in Hyderabad had busted a drug racket in which about 1,000 students from leading schools and colleges in the city were allegedly found using drugs. The racket also exposed that the dealers also apparently supplied drugs to several prominent celebs from the Telugu movie industry. The names of the celebrities came up in the call data of Calvin Mascarenhas, who is the alleged kingpin of the drug racket.

We earlier reported how ED has booked a case under PMLA i.e. Prevention of Money Laundering Act and is making sure to check the financial history of all those who are under scrutiny. Puri and Charmme were also asked to submit their financial statements.
