RAGINI, SANJANA'S CUSTODY EXTENDED; TO REMAIN IN JAIL TILL THIS DATE UNTIL BAIL IS GRANTED

A Bengaluru court, on Friday, extended the police custody of the stars by another three days. Along with Ragini and Sanjana, police custody was extended for four of their associates and co-accused - Ravi Shankar, Rahul Shetty, Niyaz and Loum Pepper Samba - till September 14.

Meanwhile, earlier while speaking to TOI, Ragini's father had maintained that his daughter was innocent. “Police officers barged into the house, searched every nook and corner and found no narcotics, just a small box of organic cigarettes. The allegations against my daughter are not true. The whole episode seems to be a plot; what’s happening to my daughter is unfair,” he said.

When we first heard about it, we were getting ready to go to the police station. But things got out of hands. Cops barged into our house at 6.30 am on September 4 and turned everything upside down," he said.

“They are concocting stories and spoiling my family’s name. I feel sad for my daughter, I only want the best for her. Somebody may be plotting against us. My daughter recently got a call from someone and she was upset about it. We later realised that someone’s ego had been hurt and this drug drama began after that," he said further.
