Actor Krishna absent following drug case investigation
Tamil actor Krishna has been absconding after being named in a Chennai Police drug case, which began with the arrest of fellow actor Srikanth.
Srikanth tested positive for cocaine during questioning, leading to a wider look at possible drug use among actors.
Now, a special police team is searching for Krishna, whose phone has been switched off since the investigation started.
Supplier arrested; police digging deeper into network in film industry
Police say T Prasad, an AIADMK IT wing member, supplied drugs to Srikanth and others and has now been arrested.
Another supplier admitted selling cocaine to both actors at parties and film shoots for about ₹12,000 per gram.
With forensic tests confirming Srikanth's drug use and more connections being traced through phone records and payments, police are digging deeper into how widespread this network might be in the film industry.
