Stating that the government has zero tolerance for drugs trafficking, Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant said that the photograph’s circulating of Bollywood actor with him may have been during the courtesy call.
“The Government has a policy of zero tolerance to drug trafficking. The Chief Minister, in a tweet on 16 August 2020, had complimented the Goa Police for their swift action of cracking down on this illicit drug trafficking. The action of the Police is a manifestation of the Government’s resolve to end the menace of drug trafficking in the state,” said a CMO press release.
With respect to the pictures circulating on various media platforms, the CMO says that the Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant meeting Bollywood actor Kapil Jhaveri, may have been of a courtesy call last year by the Kapil Jhaveri, after the CM had taken over.
“A large number of persons had called on the CM then,” CMO said.
The Crime Branch on Sunday conducted a raid wherein the Boillywood actor was arrested at a rave party wherein drugs were seized.
