The police found that the lists of 30 names each provided by the actresses matched with each other. But the officials are dithering from conducting raids on the residences of the people named therein as they are not in possession of reliable evidence, it is being said.

The police are busy putting together evidence for conducting raids. Names of family members of some senior officials are said to be in the list provided by the actresses, and the CCB is preparing to raid their residences.

Sanjana Galrani was quite close to political leaders. It is said that she was in regular contact with several accused whose names were heard relating to this episode. An officer said that it is not known whether the political leaders were aware of the illegal activities of their junior colleagues.

The police have collected information about entrepreneur Prashanth Ranka, who was arrested three days back. A suo motu case stands registered against him in Cottonpet police station. Congress MLA Zameer Ahmed, has filed a case against Prashanth Sambargi, who has been levelling allegations on him relating to the drugs case. The police said that they have registered a case against Sambargi and will question him soon.

    'Names of family members of some senior officials are said to be in the list provided by the actresses, and the CCB is preparing to raid their residences.'

    In simple words, CCB is notifying the concerned to destroy the evidences before they raid.
    Raid kar rahe ho ya lunch pe jaa rahe ho?

    Why does society always ban drugs, but does not ban alcohol or cigarettes?

    Society is not at all banning drugs, most drugs are available after prescription from most addictive opiates to even ganja though latter is yet to come to India.

    Now on the case is diluted for sure. Now the police are giving time to those 30 people to delete all the evidences. Before this news was published, those 30 or at least political leaders sons and also government officials sons have been informed for sure.

    Why this case is not handled by NCB like SSR case but only by Karnataka State Police. This case will also become" Puska" like the Madhya Pradesh Sex scandal, Gauri Lankesh case and many others. All show off!

    Actually it was Karnataka State Police SIT which solved not only the Gowri Lankesh case but also other murder cases in other states all of which were unsuccessfully being investigated by 'great' CBI. Lack of prosecution is not police fault.

    Subhash Chandra, Mangalore........If small fishes can be caught in the net...even the the big fishes can be caught without doubt. But unfortunately as long as only small fishes are caught in the net the investigation goes on without any problem. But once a big fish is caught our net ruptures and all the fishes will escape from that hole. This is what is going to happen and Happened in the previous years also.
