The Special Investigation Team (SIT), who recently questioned around 30 people, including few Telugu film industry personalities, are now quiet about their next move.
According to an IANS report, the SIT has so far arrested over 20 people, including US citizen Dundu Anish, Dutch national Mike Kamminga and seven B.Tech degree holders, most of them MNC employees.
There has been no clarity if the SIT would question more celebrities later. Recently, the Telangana government announced that drug users, including celebrities, will be treated as victims and not criminals.
Celebrities such as Ravi Teja, Tanish Alladi, Mumaith Khan, Charmme Kaur, director Puri Jagannadh, were among a few who were grilled by the police in July.
