HC to hear Sanjjanaa’s bail plea today

BENGALURU: The

high court

will on Friday hear arguments on the

bail petition

filed by

Sandalwood actress Sanjjanaa Galrani

, who has been arrested in a drug-peddling case.

Sanjjanaa’s

counsel Hashmath Pasha

had on November 27 applied for her bail on health grounds. Accordingly, the HC first sought a medical report from officials of Central Prison and then directed doctors from Vani Vilas hospital to subject her to a detailed medical test and submit a report.

The report was submitted to the court on Thursday. “Doctors who examined Sanjjanaa have said she should be under medication and undergo surgery when needed,” said Pasha.

This is the second petition filed by Sanjjanaa in the high court. Her pleas were rejected by the special court for narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances as well the HC. Sanjjanaa and her colleague Ragini Dwivedi are among 13 suspects arrested in the case.
