Actress Anushree's name mentioned in CCB charge sheet in drug case: Report
Bengaluru: Well-known reality show host and television presenter Anushree is in trouble in connection with the drug case in the Kannada film industry. Central Crime Branch (CCB) has named Anushree in the charge sheet based on the statement by Accused-2 choreographer Kishore Aman Shetty.
CCB has recorded Kishore Aman Shetty's statement that Anushree is involved in consuming and distributing drugs. Kishore Shetty has told police that he came in touch with Anushree through reality show choreographer Tarun Raj.
"Anushree used to bring ecstasy pills to dance practice, three of us took drugs. She has contacts with drug peddlers but we didn't know how she managed to get drugs", CCB recorded Kishore Shetty's statement.
Before the new broke about her name in the charge sheet, Anushree reportedly flew to Mumbai to avoid interrogation by the investigating authorities.
Last year, Anushree was questioned in connection with a drugs case involving dancer-choreographer Kishore Aman Shetty. She was interrogated for three-and-a-half hours.
Anushree told the probe team that she knew Tarun Raj, a close friend of Shetty, who is also an accused in the drug case, for the last 12 years. He had done dance choreography for her for six months. However, the anchor said she had no links with Tarun Raj on drug use and had not attended any party with him.
