Recently LOC (look out circular) was issued against the actress at the request of the ED. The agency had doubts that she might flee abroad and hence they had written letter to the concerned authorities.

The court had taken cognizance of the charge sheet soon after it was filed and had asked the agency to supply the copy to all the accused.The next date in the charge sheet matter is December 13. The ED officials were tight-lipped over the matter.
