Kakkanad, Kochi: The police investigating the case of actress Aswathy Babu, who has been accused of narcotics trafficking, plan to interrogate people from the film and television serial fields. This decision was taken after the police gathered information that several drug parties were staged in her apartment at Palachuvadu and people from the entertainment industry have been regular visitors to her flat.
The interrogation is aimed at finding out whether any of the regular visitors to Aswathy's place had any link to drug trafficking. Huge quantities of the synthetic drug MDMA, which sells at Rs 2,000 per gram, were recovered from her flat during the arrest. According to the police, investigations carried out with her phone number in focus have proven that she has connections with drug dealers in other states including Goa.
A close relative of the actor is also under scanner. The man was arrested earlier for cultivating nearly 30 ganja plants at his residence in Thiruvananthapuram.
Aswathy Babu was also caught in a narcotics case abroad, the police say.
The police said the under-remand actor will be taken for further evidence-gathering along with her aide Bino Abraham, a native of Nattakam in Kottayam, who lives in Thammanam in the city.
Aswathy and her driver were arrested on earlier this month from the parking lot of her apartment at Palachuvadu. The police team also seized narcotics from them. The police later recovered more drugs from her apartment. She moved into the apartment a month ago.
Aswathi’s mother and another woman from Gujarat were present in the at at the time of the raid.
Aswathy had acted in 'Suvarna Purushan' and 'Velipadinte Pusthakam'. She had also acted in several TV serials.
