Meanwhile, Zameer Khan, responding to the allegation, said that he had gone to the Colombo along with many MLAs and visited the casino, which is legal. He further challenged Sambargi to prove his link with the drug racket following which he would bequeath all his property to the government.
On the other hand, extensive raids were conducted across the west division in paan shops to check for sale of contraband materials.
