It looks like there is some trouble ahead for Ragini Dwivedi .

The actress,
whose name cropped up as a top suspect in the ongoing Sandalwood  drug
scandal was arrested  after nearly seven hours of grilling that happened at
the CCB office . This apparently was after there was a lot of drugs that were
found at her residence, following reports.

Ragini was summoned by the CCB yesterday  for investigation. Ragini  failed

to do so.This morning there was a raid conducted at Ragini's residence,
where her phones and gadgets were seized. Some important evidence is
speculated to have been unearthed too by news channels. This seems to be
the drugs that have been recovered at her home.

Following this four hour long raid, Ragini arrived at the CCB office at around
11.30 am and there was a huge rush and she was escorted into the office for
interrogation by a lot of female police officers who were called in especially
for this. The actress was grilled all day. There were reports of a small break,
where she had cake for lunch. The actress has apparently applied for
anticipatory bail. But, the hearing for that will be on Monday.

Interestingly, Ragini had released a statement on Thursday that read, "I am

grateful for all the concern expressed by the public about a notice I received
yesterday. As I received it at a very short notice, I was unable to appear
today before the CCB police . However, out of respect for the process of the
law, my advocates have presented themselves before the police, have
explained my difficulty in not being able to appear today and have sought
time. I am committed to appear on Monday morning before the police. I
consider it my duty as a citizen to humbly participate in any questioning that
the police might have; I have nothing to hide and have no connection with
any unlawful activity which is being probed by the CCB police. Once again, I
express my gratitude for all the love, affection and concern that has been
expressed."

NEW DELHI: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Friday

the release of prisoners on parole and furlough is not an absolute
right and should be on the basis of well-defined norms of
eligibility, and directed states that those involved in terrorism and
other heinous crimes should not be allowed to go out of jails.
In a communication to all States and Union Territories, the home
ministry also said that parole and furlough may not be granted as
a matter of routine and may be decided by a committee of
officers and behavioural experts keeping in view all relevant
factors, especially for inmates sentenced for sexual offences,
serious crimes such as murder, child abduction and violence.
The communication came following reports from different parts of
the country that many of those released from jails due to
the coronavirus pandemic were indulging in crimes.
The video of a recent incident in Punjab where a girl bravely
fought against two armed snatchers, who were also released from
a prison recently, was widely circulated on the social media.
