Bollywood Journalist @SoumyadiptaIf you hear about the arrest of an actor's wife then remember this blog of mine. Here -> http://wp.me/p3x1zT-H3
THE COKE CIRCLE
Let's start with a shocking gossip doing the rounds these days: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai has apparently stumbled upon some clinching evidence against a reputed actor wife's drug abuse.
I have found out through my Bollywood sources that the gossip is true.
We are not talking about ganja or weed here, which is said to be Bollywood's favourite pastime. Besides, I am told that the NCB doesn't generally waste its time on tracking ganja.
This actor-wife is addicted to cocaine that numerous Bollywood actors have been using over the decades.
After keeping her on their radar for years, sources say, that the sleuths are finally closing in on her.
However she might not be arrested immediately because a lot of similar initiatives by the NCB have reportedly been scuttled in the past. We will have to wait and see if the police is finally able to nail this woman.
For all my readers who are quick off-the-block with their comments, I won't let you pin-point towards her till she is caught by the cops. The police is apparently gathering more evidence and if the sleuths are able to nail her, I will publish all the comments who have predicted her name successfully.
Till then, those comments will remain with me. Sorry for that. So, don't despair if some of your comments are not published immediately.
Here are some bits and pieces that I was able to gather about the investigation which is underway for a long time now.
SHE HAD ORDERED SOME 10 GRAMS OF CONTRABAND
My sources say that the actor-wife is already well-known as a junkie' among her close friends and they have tried numerous times in the past to get her off dope with little success.
If the accounts of her close friends are anything to go by, then her drug abuse has increased many folds in the past couple of months. Disturbed over her personal life, she has started giving in more and more to substance abuse.
Known for snorting cocaine in measured quantities, this actor-star wife had recently ordered a fairly large consignment from her peddler. The consignment, if I got it right, was about 10 grams of the contraband.
According to the law, possessing anything less than two grams of a contraband substance is not considered a big crime in India; you can actually get away by paying a fine.
But if you posses more than two grams of cocaine in your purse, as the law explains, it will imply that you were getting the drug to sell it.
If the drugs that are found on you is more than two grams, then it will surely attract a jail term. There is no way you can escape jail even if you hire the best lawyer in town as your legal counsel.
I am told that the cops have already gathered some evidence against her and if they wish, can bring her in for interrogation any day.
The problem is: For some reason, the police hasn't really acted and have been apparently sitting on the investigation for quite some time. The peddler who has been kept under the radar for so many months, hasn't been arrested either.
Sources say that the police feels that they haven't gathered enough evidence against the star wife and are still on the hunt for more proof. They all know that coming out with the allegations will be like throwing in a slice of bacon in front of the starving Indian media who haven't been fed with a celebrity scandal for months.
I am told that the cops are waiting to catch her while buying the cocaine consignment though I am informed they have already let go of one such opportunity.
HOW THE POLICE STUMBLED ON HER IDENTITY
I don't think I need to write an elaborate article about Bollywood and drug abuse. It probably dates back to the 80s when drug use had become rampant.
Many Bollywood stars have been implicated so far, a lot of them in Dubai too. Articles after articles have been written about Bollywood's drug abuse with some cases that came to light.
But this time, the case is a little different " this woman is apparently well-respected in certain page three circles and this is making the police tread very cautiously.
The prominent actor-cum-husband, who is unaware of the developments, is too busy to understand what might descend upon his family soon.
Sources say that the star wife has a strange habit, she doesn't consume contrabands alone. She consumes in measured quantities at her closed-door pyjama parties with her girl pals. Apparently, this habit of her's is the biggest advantage that the police has.
"She has this habit of sponsoring Coke for everybody. If you party with her then you don't need to pay for your snort. She procures it and distributes it to her girl pals. There are two designers in her circle of friends as well. I know that she doesn't charge money and everything is given away free of cost. Actually that is what makes her parties so attractive," said an assistant to a stylist, who happened to be "outside" the room when one of these parties was underway.
Since, she procures drugs for all her pals and let's consider that all her pals consume at least half a gram (she has at least five close junkie pals), then the amount needs to be above 2 grams. This is the assumption pattern that the police hopes will land her in trouble. Sources say that the next consignment that is scheduled to be delivered to her will be of at least 12 grams.
Then she is definitely going to jail.
The biggest problem in front of the police is to get there unannounced since they will have to get past layers of security and there are very few means to get to her without going past her elaborate security cordon when such parties are on. Besides, these parties are always held on private properties making accessibility all the more difficult for the detectives.
Don't worry, the cops have several ways to get to the culprit if they really want to nab her.
The hardest part of their job is to get a go-ahead for such operations. I believe that the go-ahead for the operation is still pending, otherwise I don't understand why the cops haven't acted on their sources' information for such a long time.
Perhaps somebody from their department will come across this blog and it will inspire them to renew their efforts.
All over again
