The family of actress Chrisann Pereira, who has been imprisoned in Sharjah Central Jail after being used as a drug mule, has managed to inform her that the two individuals who conned her, have been arrested. "She is now feeling relaxed and hopeful that she will be able to return home soon," said her brother Kevin. The family said that they spoke to Chrisann on the phone with the assistance of their legal team in Sharjah. They are hopeful that she will be released soon, pending action by the Ministry of External Affairs through the Indian embassy, to approach the court. "We cannot describe the trauma my sister has gone through. For the first 17 days, we had no contact with her. Later, she borrowed money from inmates to contact us. She has no money to even buy soap for herself. But now she is happy that the culprits have been caught," Kevin added.
The family was also concerned that since news of the drug smuggling case emerged, people would assume that Chrisann was involved in drugs. "With the arrest of the accused by the crime branch, the true story will be revealed," Kevin said. The Killa court on Tuesday remanded the accused Anthony Paul and Rajesh Bubhate, alias Ravi, in the custody of Unit 10 of the Mumbai Crime Branch until May 2. The duo were arrested by the Crime Branch on Monday for allegedly deceiving Chrisann on the pretext of getting her a role in an international web series.
