For those unversed, gangster KK Omprakash and his Kollam-native associate, Shihas, had been arrested by police after they received a tip-off about a drug sale ahead of Alan Walker's music show in Kochi on October 6, 2024.
The police apprehended the gangster and conducted a raid in his hotel room, where they had seized liquid drugs and 8 bottles of alcohol. As per a report by Manorama News, the authorities had found over 4 liters of alcohol and cocaine residue in the room.
All the suspects have been reported to have undergone blood tests and were staying in 3 different rooms at the hotel. According to the report, the suspects also organized a DJ party on October 5, the same day on which Bhasi and Prayaga are speculated to have visited the gangster.
The remand report has mentioned that the actors and nearly 20 others had apparently visited the gangster on the said day. Moreover, Omprakash was later sent on bail after arrest, with the court saying that the police had failed to collect a commercial quantity of drugs during the raid.
