Malayalam actors Shine Tom Chacko and Sreenath Bhasi showed up for questioning on Monday. They were called by the Excise Department after a drug bust earlier this month in Kerala.
A woman named Taslima Sulthana was caught with hybrid ganja worth Rs 2 crore. She and another person were arrested by the Excise team on April 2.
During questioning, Taslima claimed she supplied drugs to people in the film and tourism industries. She also named both Chacko and Bhasi in her statement.
Based on her claims, the officials sent out summons to the two actors. Investigators are still trying to confirm if there’s any solid link.
A model was also summoned as part of the ongoing probe. Officials are keeping details under wraps as the investigation continues.
No charges have been filed against the actors yet. Their questioning is part of a broader effort to crack down on drug use in Kerala’s entertainment circle.
