The police had directed both Sreenath Bhasi and actress Prayaga Martin to report to the Maradu police station. While Srinath has complied, Prayaga has not yet shown up.

Yesterday, the police questioned another gang leader, Thammanam Faisal, in relation to the case. The questioning was prompted by the discovery of Faisal's phone number during an examination of Om Prakash's phone. The investigation team is currently awaiting forensic reports from a hotel room related to the case.

According to the police’s remand report, both Prayaga Martin and Sreenath Bhasi were present in the room occupied by Om Prakash at a 7-star hotel in Kochi, along with twenty other individuals. The investigation team believes that a drug party took place in that room. Notices were issued to both actors as part of the ongoing investigation. The probe team have also contacted some of the 20 mentioned in Om Prakash's remand report. It has been reported that traces of drugs were found in the room where Om Prakash stayed, which could be significant for the case’s progress.

The police allege that the drug use at the hotel was after booking a hotel in the name of participating in the DJ show hosted by Allen Walker. The room was booked under the name Bobby Chalapathi. Sreenath Bhasi and Prayaga reportedly arrived in the room through Binu Thomas, a local resident from Elamakara, who is also believed to be associated with Om Prakash. The police clarified that Om Prakash did not have direct acquaintance with the actors. Additional information was gathered by the police during their questioning of Binu.
