Kannada actresses Sanjjanaa Galrani who was recently arrested by Central Crime Branch of Bengaluru in a drug probe, was caught on camera refusing to give a blood sample for dope test. The video of the incident has since gone viral.

I’ve been made a scapegoat and brought here. How am I responsible if someone who I had called makes a call to someone?” However, she agreed to comply when the police displayed the court order.
