Tamil actors Srikanth and Krishna have been granted conditional bail by the Madras High Court in connection with an ongoing drug case.

The controversy began when Srikanth was arrested and the investigation gained momentum, which later reached Krishna. He is also accused of trying to flee to Kerala, but four special teams caught and took him into custody.

He was arrested under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. The case emerged after Prasad, a former AIADMK IT wing member, was arrested following a brawl at a Nungambakkam pub. During interrogation, Prasad named Srikanth as a regular customer. Another individual, Pradeep, also claimed he had seen Srikanth using drugs at multiple club parties and identified Prasad as the supplier.
