KOCHI: The police will thoroughly investigate the financial transactions between film star Sreenath Bhasi and Binu Joseph, a native of Elamakkara, who the police suspect of having delivered drugs. Sreenath was earlier accused of participating in the drug party hosted by notorious gangster Om Prakash.
Sreenath had earlier admitted to having financial dealings with Binu, which the police doubt also involved the trade of drugs. It was Binu who brought Sreenath and other stars to the luxury hotel in Ernakulam where Om Prakash was staying.
After compiling the current set of details, it is expected that police may yet again summon Sreenath and Binu for questioning. Sreenath, who got home after participating in the party at a hotel in Kakkanad came to know about Om Prakash’s party through a friend. Sreenath in his statement to the police mentioned his health problems restricting any intake of drugs. However, police have been least convinced of the actor’s revelation. However, the officials think that the statement from Prayaga Martin is genuine and satisfactory.
Prayaga testified that she had no prior acquaintance with Om Prakash. She went to the luxury hotel at the insistence of friends and had no idea about the rave party planned. The statements of 15 people are to be recorded. The police will then conclude the role of each in the coming days.
It is reported that another actress also arrived at the hotel where the drunken party took place. It was proven right from the CCTV footage. An investigation is underway as to whether the actress reached the room where Om Prakash and his friends stayed. If this is confirmed, the actress will be questioned.
