Rakul Preet Singh had earlier been questioned by ED in a narcotics trafficking and consumption case
Notably, Rakul Preet Singh has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a narcotics trafficking and consumption case from 2022 to 2021.
The probe agency also recorded her statement in this case last year. Aside from Rakul, Rana Daggubati, Charmme Kaur, Navdeep, Ravi Teja, and Puri Jagannadh were all summoned for questioning in the narcotics case.
The ED has been looking into a drug trafficking and consumption case for the past four years. Telangana’s Prohibition and Excise Department busted a high-end narcotics syndicate in 2017, prompting the launch of this investigation. The cartel supplied LSD, MDMA, and other narcotics.
