FollowCCB officials who were purely going by the leads developed from the recent drug raid, say they took notice of claims from an activist and another celebrity who stated there was proof of the involvement of the actress and the MLA in the drugs case and also gambling. The CCB has served him with a notice.
First, Prashanth Sambargi will be summoned and he will have to depose before CCB officials and submit proofs of his allegations. Failing this, he may be let off with a warning.

Sanjjanaa in more trouble?
Actress Sanjjanaa, who is arrested in a drug case, had earlier abused Sambargi calling him a stray dog and pig. Reportedly, the actress may find herself in more trouble as he may level more accusations. He has claimed that the actress was in a casino in Sri Lanka where gambling is rampant.
