FollowTollywood has been swept by the drug storm that is threatening to uncover careers, unravel hidden truths and expose private obsessions. The Hyderabad drug bust has been giving many Telugu film personalities sleepless nights. Who knows when their names may tumble out of some peddler’s mouth or found on some person’s phone?
Latest news from the drug bust case under the investigation of IPS officer Akun Sabharwal and the Excise Department is that of actress Kajal Aggarwal’s former manager being arrested for possession of ganja. Reports say Puttkar Ronson Joseph alias Johnny Joseph, a former manager of the actress, was arrested by the SIT on Monday. Ronnie was in possession of four gram of dry ganja.
Ronnie was arrested from his house in Pride Apartments at Manikonda, Hyderabad. Investigating officials are now trying to further establish his chain of contacts and whether he acted as supplier to his friends or not.
The actress meanwhile has taken to Twitter to distance herself from the case:

The SIT investigation into the drug case is in full swing and now with Ronson’s arrest the total number of arrested in this case goes up to 19. Already 12 Tollywood personalities have been called by the SIT for investigation and actor Navdeep was the latest to be quizzed by the SIT in this regard. Previously director Puri Jagannadh had been called for questioning.
Actress-turned entrepreneur Charmmee Kaur was also sent a notice by the SIT but she chose to skip the questioning. She has now gone and petitioned the court against the SIT. The actress filed the petition since she has doubts on the process of investigation which is compelling her to give testimony, her blood, hair and nails.
