Raveena Tandon posts strongly on Rhea's arrest, seeks action 'with vengeance' on drugs

After days of speculation, Rhea Chakraborty was arrested for her involvement in the narcotics case. The arrest came amid Kangana Ranaut’s disclosures about the alleged Bollywood-drug mafia nexus, claiming '99 per cent' of the film industry consumed drugs. Raveena Tandon had a strong reaction to the developments, and sought that the authorities weed out the drug menace with a ‘vengeance’ as the Sushant Singh Rajput case brought the spotlight on it.

Raveen Tandon took to Twitter after Rhea’s arrest and wrote that ‘drugs ruins generations.’ The actor added that it was high time that the drug issue was 'uprooted from the base.’ Amid another drug cartel involving Kannada film industry stars, the Satta star wrote that one must not stop at Bollywood, Sandalwood or all ‘collective woods.’

She also wrote that it was time for the authorities to target it with a ‘vengeance’ and eradicate it from colleges, parties, politics, hotels. Raveena lamented how it took the authorities the SSR death case to ‘wake up.’
