Ragini Dwivedi moves SC for bail in Sandalwood drug case

New Delhi, Nov 28 : Kannada film actress Ragini Dwivedi has moved the Supreme Court seeking bail in connection with the Sandalwood drug case.
Dwivedi has filed a special leave petition in the top court challenging the November 3, order of the Karnataka High Court, which declined to grant her relief along with another accused Sanjjanaa Galrani in the case.
The duo was arrested by the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch Police in September this year.
“Justice Sreeniwas Harish Kumar dismissed the bail petitions of Ragini, Sanjjanaa and co-accused Prashant Ranka who are under judicial custody since mid-September for their alleged involvement in use of banned drugs,” a city crime branch police official had told reporters quoting the prosecutor on November 3.
Ragini was arrested on September 4 and Sanjana on September 8 under various provisions of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985 and the Indian Penal Code (IPC) for allegedly consuming and supplying banned drugs at parties and events organised in the city over the last couple of years.
All the accused are lodged in the central jail on the outskirts of the city’s southern suburb.
