Police in Karnataka say they have arrested actor and dance reality contestant, Kishore Aman Shetty, for allegedly trying to sell banned substance MDMA, popularly known as Ecstasy. The Mangalore Police said that they had also arrested two other persons in the same case.
“.. After securing them, we got to know that one of them had acted in a Bollywood movie and is a choreographer dancer. His name is Kishore Aman Shetty, and the other person is Aqueel Nousheel. Both of them were caught while on a motorcycle,” Mangalore Police Commissioner Vikash Kumar was quoted by news agency PTI.
The arrest of Shetty came days after the Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Bengaluru on Friday formally arrested the Kannada actress, Ragini Dwivedi, along with two other persons.
As well as being a participant in the dance reality show Dance India Dance, Shetty also acted Bollywood film ABCD: Any Body Can Dance.
Elsewhere, the Central Crime Branch (CCB) of the Bengaluru police have also arrested two foreign nationals who were allegedly involved in drug peddling and seized 134 Ecstasy pills (MDMA) and 25 LSD strips worth Rs. 10 lakh from them in the city.
