She had claimed that the prosecution had framed her in the false case to attract public attention.
Notably, the case came up in September when the NCB arrested a person who used to organise high profile drug parties in Bangalore. Several drug peddlers were arrested to investigate the matter. Later Ragini and Sanjjanaa Galrani were also arrested in this case. Many big names have appeared in the Sandalwood drug racket case so far.
Ragini, 30, entered the film industry with her debut movie Veera Madakari in 2009 and gained popularity for her stellar role in films like Kempe Gowda, Ragini IPS, Bangari and Shiva.
