The party leader wrote that there are reports claiming that Rajput was being administered drugs by his girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty and sought two-year imprisonment and lifetime ban from working in the film industry for actors who fail the test.

Sarang, in his letter, said that youth follow actors as their icon and started adopting similar lifestyles.
