Student of the Year actor arrested

Shocking news has emerged from Bollywood.

Actor Vishal Brahma, who appeared in Student of the Year, has been arrested at Chennai airport with 3.5 kg of cocaine.

The recovered drugs are estimated to be worth approximately ₹35 crore.

✈️ Discovery while returning from Singapore

According to reports, Vishal Brahma had returned from Singapore.

The Air Intelligence Unit checked his luggage and found pouches in the false bottom. Testing confirmed the contents to be cocaine.

This action was part of a joint operation by Chennai Customs and the Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI).

🕵️‍♂️ Actor’s Claim and Investigation

Vishal said during interrogation that he was given the bag by an unknown person at Singapore Airport and was asked to hand it over to someone in Chennai.

However, authorities suspect the matter is not so straightforward.

It is suspected that the drugs were destined for a network in Delhi or Mumbai.

💰 Financial Crisis and Gang Connection

According to a report in the New Indian Express, Vishal was struggling with financial difficulties.

During this time, he met a member of a Nigerian drug gang, who offered him a free trip to Cambodia and lakhs of rupees.

Investigating agencies are now examining his travel history to determine if he has been part of such a racket before.

📦 Large seizures have occurred before

This is not the first time such a large quantity of cocaine has been seized.

In July 2025, the DRI also seized cocaine worth ₹62.6 crore from an Indian woman at Mumbai Airport.

At that time, the drugs were hidden in chocolate and Oreo boxes.

⚖️ Result

Vishal Brahma’s arrest has once again raised questions about the Bollywood-drug connection.

Now it remains to be seen what other names emerge in the investigation and how large this network is.
