Court records statement of Sreenath Bhasi in hybrid ganja case
The Judicial First Class Magistrate Court- I at Cherthala on Wednesday recorded the statement of actor Sreenath Bhasi in connection with the Alappuzha hybrid ganja case.
Bhasi, who appeared before judge Sherin K. George in the afternoon, recorded his confidential statement under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita.
The Excise department earlier decided to make him a witness in the case. On April 28, Mr. Bhasi, along with actor Shine Tom Chacko and model K. Sowmya, appeared before the excise team probing the case. They were let off after interrogation. Though call and message details retrieved from the mobile phone of Thasleema Sulthana, one of the accused in the case, established her links with the actors, officials said they could not be named as accused in the case.
Excise sleuths seized three kg of hybrid ganja on April 1 from a resort at Omanapuzha in Alappuzha. Besides Thasleema, it arrested her husband Sultan Akbar Ali and K. Feroze in connection with the case. .
