The Sandalwood drug racket is getting crucial every day. Recently, Kannada film actors Diganth Manchale and Aindrita Ray on Wednesday appeared before the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in connection with the drug case. The CCB, which is investigating the drug scandal in the Kannada film industry, had circulated a notice to the actor-couple on Tuesday. In a tweet, the couple had said, "We have received a telephonic notice from the Central Crime Branch for an ongoing inquiry at 11 am tomorrow (Wednesday). We will be present and fully cooperate with the CCB."

The addition comes a day after the cops attacked the prodigal resort-mansion of Aditya Alva, son of former minister late Jeevaraj Alva, in the city. The CCB has already caught actresses Ragini Dwivedi and Sanjjanaa Galrani along with seven others while it is on the lookout for at least seven more in this connection. After resolving the first round of investigation, the CCB issued a notice to the star couple — Diganth and Aindrita Ray, asking them to appear before them for interrogation.

The CCB team advertised a notice through WhatsApp to the actor couple, who could not be traced in Bengaluru. The couple responded to the notice and said that they would be escorting the CCB inquiry on Wednesday morning. Sources close to the CCB say that the couple had been summoned in connection with the Banasawadi case, which was registered in 2018. The couple's name was making the rounds ever since the police took the drug link in Sandalwood seriously.
