Tamil Actors Summoned in Alleged Cocaine Trafficking Case
24 Oct
Summary
- Tamil actors K. Srikanth and Krishna Kumar summoned for questioning
- Investigation linked to alleged cocaine trafficking and money laundering
- Actors previously arrested but granted bail, involvement seemed limited
On October 24, 2025, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has summoned Tamil actors K. Srikanth and Krishna Kumar for questioning in a money laundering case linked to alleged cocaine trafficking. The investigation began after the Chennai Police filed an FIR in June 2025 over the drug case.
Srikanth, 46, is scheduled to appear before the ED on October 27, 2025, while Krishna Kumar has been asked to appear on October 28, 2025. Their statements will be recorded under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) as the federal agency probes possible financial connections to the ongoing drug case.
Both actors were previously arrested during the investigation but were granted conditional bail by the Madras High Court in July 2025. The court noted that no drugs were found with them and their involvement seemed limited. A former AIADMK functionary, T. Prasad, was also arrested for allegedly supplying cocaine to Srikanth and others.
Srikanth and Krishna Kumar are established Tamil film stars, with Srikanth appearing in numerous romantic dramas, thrillers, and action movies, while Krishna Kumar has also made a mark in the industry with films like 'Kazhugu' and 'Yatchan.'
