Overview

• The court on July 8 allowed T. Srikanth and K. Krishnakumar to be released in a case registered under the NDPS Act for alleged personal procurement of cocaine.
• Their release is subject to ₹10,000 bonds each with two sureties and mandatory daily appearances before the investigating officer for two weeks.
• No amount of cocaine was seized from either actor at the time of arrest, although prosecutors cited a June 23 urine test showing traces of the drug in Srikanth’s sample.
• The investigation originated from Anti Narcotics Intelligence Unit raids on local suppliers in Nungambakkam and Hosur that led to initial arrests and confessions implicating the actors.
• Police and the AINU continue to trace financial transactions and communications as they map a broader Chennai cocaine supply network.
