Telugu film actor Navdeep, who often hits the headlines, recently took to Twitter to vehemently deny any involvement in the new drugs case that has ensnared lesser-known Telugu film producers and actors. In an unexpected turn of events, he has now sought legal protection and successfully secured anticipatory bail.
In a significant development, the Telangana High Court has come to Navdeep’s aid amidst the ongoing drugs controversy that has sent shockwaves through the Telugu film industry. The court has granted him anticipatory bail, shielding him from potential arrest until the 19th of this month, as per the court’s directive. Additionally, the court has instructed the police to provide their response to Navdeep’s bail plea.
Navdeep has passionately refuted the allegations made by the Hyderabad police and has articulated his stance before the court. He firmly asserted, “I am not connected to drug usage, and there exists no medical evidence to substantiate such accusations. Unfounded information is being disseminated about me in the media without a thorough investigation. These allegations have inflicted considerable mental distress and have the potential to jeopardize my career. I wholeheartedly believe that a custodial investigation in this matter is unwarranted, and I categorically deny any history of drug use.”
The unfolding situation will be closely watched, as the Telugu film industry has previously witnessed several of its celebrities subjected to prolonged interrogations related to drug use and other associated activities.
