Meanwhile, Loose Madha's mother has claimed that her son is innocent and has nothing to do with the drugs. She says she knows everything about his son and believes he is innocent.
Sources say the family of Loose Madha believes that acting with Ragini and Aindrita Ray may have resulted in police doubting Loose Madha as both the actresses were summoned by the CCB in the drug case. While Ragini was sent to jail, Ray was allowed to return after questioning.
