A report of the Forensic Science laboratory (FSL) has given clean chits to ace Tollywood filmmaker Puri Jagannath and actor Tarun in the sensational drug trafficking case of 2017.
It said that there was no traces of the drugs in the blood, nail and or hair samples collected from the two of them.
The excise department of the state had collected the samples from Jagannath and Tarun in July 2017 when they were facing charges in the drugs case.
Officials of the department said that the two of them had voluntarily given their samples for the tests.
They added that the FSL had submitted its report on December 8 of 2020, and that they had also filed a chargesheet against the kingpin of the drugs racket Calvin in the concerned court.
The department had also submitted the statement of the Assistant Director of the FSL before the court.
