Hyderabad: The Special Investigation Team on Monday arrested leading actress Kajal Aggarwal’s manager Puttkar Ronson Joseph, also known as Johnny Joseph or Rony, for possession of ganja.
Director of Enforcement of Prohibition and Excise department Akun Sabharwal said that SIT raided Ronson’s house in Manikonda and found ganja in his possession. They arrested him. “We are questioning him and further investigation in the case is going on,” Dr Sabharwal said.
A source in the SIT said that some quantity of ganja was found on Joseph and statements given by film personalities who were questioned earlier, also led to his arrest.
“We strongly suspect his role in drug peddling in Tollywood and have arrested him after monitoring his activities. We have strong evidence that he consumes drugs regularly. It will be proved after medical tests,” the SIT source said.
A source in the film industry said, “He has been manager for Kajal since her entry in the industry. Kajal’s father is taking care of her activities and not depending on Ronson since a few months.”
Ronson has also worked for other film actresses such as Lavanya Tripathi and Rasi Khanna.
