Here's an interesting story I stumbled upon on BBC Hindi: Mamta Kulkarni part of a multi-crore drug racket
Former Bollywood actress, Mamta Kulkarni, has been accused of being a part of a big drug racket.
The Thane Police Commissioner, Parambeer Singh, said in a press conference that it is confirmed from an arrested couple, and from information from an American drug agency, that Kulkarni is one of the main accused in the multi-crore drug racket. The police are also saying that Mamta's friend, Vicky Goswami, is also a part of this case. It is believed that Mamta is currently with her friend in Kenya, from where the police will attempt to extradite her. Parambeer Singh said that in this case, a red corner notice will be issued against Mamta through Interpol, before anything else. The police said that ten people have already been arrested in the case, and last week four accused have had the first charge sheet filed against them, while seven people are still being searched for. This case came to light when police seized 18.5 tonnes of ephedrine, the value of which can reach as high as two thousand crore. Police are investigating Mamta's bank accounts and investments, too.
