Young Tollywood actors Navdeep and Subbaraju on Friday admitted that they have received notices from authorities probing the drug racket but denied using drugs.
They were among a dozen personalities from Telugu film industry who have been served notices by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of Enforcement Wing of Prohibition and Excise Department probing the drug racket busted in Hyderabad last week.
As names of several actors, actresses and other personalities were doing rounds in the media, Navdeep and Subbaraju confirmed that they received the notices but denied any addiction to the narcotic substances.
"It is usual to sensationalise news as soon as there are film people involved, me being involved in events and working with some wrong event managers i can understand why this happened," tweeted Navdeep.
"Its a matter of time before this is sorted .. requesting media and people to have patience," he added.
