Drug Case
Date
Event/Details
October 11, 2023
Navdeep was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for over eight hours in connection with a drug case. The ED recorded his statement as part of an ongoing investigation.
–
Telangana State Anti-Narcotics Bureau had previously interrogated Navdeep in relation to a case involving alleged contact with Nigerian drug peddlers.
–
He had been granted anticipatory bail by the Telangana high court but was served a notice under Section 41A of the CrPC.
–
The ED is investigating the money laundering angle in a 2017 drug scandal based on chargesheets filed by the excise department in multiple drug cases.
–
Several other Tollywood actors, including Rakul Preet Singh, Rana Daggubati, Ravi Teja, Charmee Kaur, Mumaith Khan, Tanish, Nandu, and Tarun have also been questioned by the ED in connection with this case, which primarily revolves around key accused Calvin Mascarenhas and others involved in the drug trade.
