In 2017, the Telangana Excise and Prohibition Department seized drugs worth Rs 30 Lakh following which 12 cases were registered and 11 charge sheets were filed.
The case was later handed over to the Enforcement Directorate. An ED official talked about the same and said, “Around 12 cases were booked by Telangana Excise and Prohibition department and 11 charge sheets were filled. Mostly drug traffickers around eight persons were charge-sheeted in the cases then.
Most of them are lower-level drug traffickers. We have called excise officials as witnesses. Likewise, till we get evidence Tollywood celebrities will be considered as witnesses. Their names have been figured in the investigation. Charmee was also summoned by the TS Government earlier for quetioning.
