During the investigation and statement procurement at the Nungambakkam Police Station, Srikanth’s blood samples were collected and further confirmed the usage of drugs, though the forensic report is not made public yet.
The arrest of two Ghana nationals named Pradeep and John linked a broader drug case that led to actor Srikanth. The Ghana nationals pointed at Prasad, a former AIADMK member who was booked for creating ruckus in a pub in Chennai. He then revealed the involvement of Srikanth multiple times during the investigation and among other suspects.
While Tamil Nadu police are repeatedly confirming that the state remains to be free of any narcotics production, the increasing case of illegal drug trade and usage is spiking leading to a concern.
