'Celebrities are soft targets': Raveena Tandon on NCB's Bollywood drug probe

On Friday, senior actress Raveen Tandon took to micro-blogging Twitter and expressed her opinion on the ongoing probe in the alleged Bollywood-drugs nexus.  

She said celebrities are soft targets and mentioned that  the war against drugs should be across the country, and not just be restricted to probing film industries.

Raveena expressed her opinion on her verified Twitter account, retweeting a post she had shared earlier this week, which reads: "Twas high time for clean up to happen. Very welcome! Will help our young/future generations. Start from here, surely, proceed to all sectors. Uproot it from its core. Punish th Guilty, users, the dealers/suppliers. The profiting Big Guys on the take, who give it a blind eye and ruin people."

Reacting to her old tweet, the actress wrote Friday: "The `Big Guys` In my tweet. No drug supplying can happen without the ashirwad of local authorities. Those are the Big fish that swim away unquestioned. If a Journo can reach the suppliers on stings. Can`t the authorities sniff them out? Celebrities are soft targets."

In another tweet, she expressed the need for a countrywide war against drugs.

"Suppliers hang outsidecolleges/schools, pubs, restaurants, a drug syndicate, involving powerful authoritative entities (big guys on the take (As in Bribes) who turn blind eye, let young lives get ruined. Uproot it from THIS core. Dont stop here, declare a full war against drugs Countrywide," she wrote.

The actress also alleged that media trials are happening along with the ongoing investigation by the agencies, where film industry people are being vilified.

"Half baked truths about the film industry=TRP ratings. The crisis in the world be forgotten by abusive judgement/vilification, people guilty before probe is plain right a public lynching. If proved wrong, will media ever able to restore their reputations, credibility?" she tweeted.

Earlier, expressing her anger over how things are shaping up in probe of late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death case and the subsequent developments with regards to Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, Raveena Tandon had raised several key points on her Twitter handle. 

Questioning if the two women -- namely, Rhea Chakraborty and Kangana Ranaut -- are being used as mere pawns for dirty political vendetta, Raveena stated that whatever was happening, referring to the BMC demolition drive and the media speculations around the case, wasn't extremely 'sad'.

She also added that because of all the speculations around the case including the 'drug link', 'move mafia' 'nepotism' among others, justice for SSR shouldn't be diluted.
