The Bengaluru police expected the drug cases that gripped the State in 2020, with the arrest of actors Ragini Dwivedi and Sanjana Galrani, to create awareness about drugs.
According to Home Minister Araga Jnanendra, the police officers told him that they knew the arrest of celebrity would ensure media coverage and would work as publicity against drug menace. “I was told that celebrity arrest would be repeatedly shown or written in media, which would in turn, create awareness. And, it has created awareness,” he said.
