CHENNAI: The Tamil film industry has come under the scanner of law enforcement agencies following a major anti-narcotics operation by the Chennai Police.
The crackdown, launched by the Anti-Narcotics Intelligence Unit (ANIU), has revealed disturbing links between drug traffickers and individuals associated with the film industry, leading to multiple arrests and the initiation of a broader investigation.
In a major breakthrough on Friday, police arrested three individuals — Premkumar (32), a former assistant director from Tondiarpet, Alex Santosh (34) of Seven Wells, and Rajan (36) of Wimco Nagar — from Perianna Street in the Seven Wells area.
