We also learn that Ragini used to encourage participants to consume drugs. While the gang earned crores of rupees Ragini was said to be getting a major share of the money from the gang. The police is said to have questioned Ragini for about 7 hours after confiscating her mobiles and laptops.
Ragini's application for anticipatory bail was rejected and the actor will be presented before the judge through a video conference. CCB officers are likely to request for her custody for some more days. The FIR against those 12 people have been filed under Section 120 B of Narcotic Drugs.
