Chennai police arrested famous Tamil actor Srikanth on Monday in a drug case. The police said tests proved he used illegal drugs. They found out Srikanth bought 1 gram of drugs from a man named Prasad, who used to work with the AIADMK party. Srikanth paid Rs.12,000 for the drugs and used them about 40 times.
Police reports say Srikanth sent Rs.4.72 lakh through Google Pay to buy these drugs. The police first caught Prasad in another case about a fight in a Chennai pub. During questioning, Prasad told police he sold cocaine to Srikanth. When police tested Srikanth’s blood, they found drugs in his body. Now police are checking if other Tamil film actors are also involved in this drug case.
The police’s Anti-Narcotics team questioned Srikanth for many hours. Doctors at a government hospital in Chennai did his blood tests. The police are still investigating to find more information about this drug network.
Srikanth is a well-known actor in Tamil films. He started his career in 2002 with the movie ‘Roja Koottam‘.
