Hyderabad: Telugu actor Pallapollu Navdeep appeared before the special investigation team (SIT) of the Telangana government on Monday in connection with the high-end drugs racket busted in Hyderabad earlier in July.

He is the third actor after Tarun Kumar and character actor P Subba Raju to appear before SIT officials.

The SIT officials said actresses Charmee Kaur and Mumaith Kaur would also be appearing before the probing team.

The SIT of the Prohibition and Excise



department has summoned nearly 12 personalities, including actors from the Telugu film industry, for questioning in connection with the racket.

The SIT had issued notices to all of them under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act after the racket, involved in supplying high-end drugs such as LSD and MDMA in and around Hyderabad, was busted on July 2.

The racket involved supplying high-end drugs such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA).
