Actress moves court in drugs case

-

Actress Charmi Kaur, who has been summoned by Telangana excise authoritie­s for questionin­g in a drug racket case, yesterday moved Hyderabad High Court, seeking its direction that authoritie­s should not forcibly collect her blood, hair and nail samples.

Denying addiction to drugs or any links with the accused in the case, the actress in her petition expressed apprehensi­on that the Special Investigat­ion Team (SIT) may forcibly take a statement from her.

Charmi, who has been served notice by the SIT to appear before it on July 26 for questionin­g, is seeking presence of her lawyer and women officers at the time of examinatio­n. Her petition is expected to come up for hearing today.
