Hyderabad, September 3

Actress Rakul Preet Singh appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) here on Friday after being summoned as part of a money laundering probe in connection with a high-end drugs racket that was busted in the city in 2017.

The ED had earlier summoned over 10 Tollywood (Telugu film industry) personalities in connection with the sensational racket of supplying  high-end narcotics such as LSD and MDMA, that was busted by the Telangana's Prohibition and Excise department.

The ED has already grilled Telugu director Puri Jagannadh and actress Charmee Kaur in the case.

The drug racket was exposed in July 2017 and several cases related to drug trafficking were registered and over 20 people were arrested, including a US citizen, who was a former aerospace engineer and had worked with the NASA, a Dutch national, a South African national besides seven B Tech degree holders employed with multi-national companies here.
