Tamil actor Krishna has been arrested by Chennai police in a high-profile drug abuse case that’s now rocking the Kollywood industry. He was first questioned on June 25 and officially taken into custody the next day. The arrest comes just days after actor Srikanth was also detained in a related case.
Police have so far arrested seven individuals linked to the investigation, including alleged drug peddler Jesveer (aka Kevin) and former AIADMK member Prasad. All of them are reportedly connected to a recent pub brawl in Chennai, which triggered the deeper drug probe.
