The ISD’s case began after it held two people from Kerala, Ran Daniel and Gokul Krishna. The duo was arrested on September 12 from Uram village. Police say that the duo unveiled information that they were allegedly supplying drugs to Sandalwood actors and also sons of lawmakers in Karnataka. The ISD clinched marijuana and LSD from their possession and also a black motorbike.
