Shanmukh Jaswanth, renowned for his success with short films and YouTube series, rose to further prominence after participating in Bigg Boss. Holding the record for the highest number of subscribers among Telugu YouTubers, Shanmukh recently made headlines when the police, investigating a case involving his brother Sampath, discovered cannabis in their possession.

Sampath, Shanmukh's elder brother, is set to marry Vinay in a few days. However, a woman named Monika filed a case against Sampath, alleging that he had been in a relationship with her for ten years and is now deceiving her by planning to marry another woman. During the police investigation into this matter, approximately 16 grams of cannabis were seized from Shanmukh and his brother. This incident quickly went viral.

Sampath was arrested by the police, who also detained and questioned Shanmukh in connection with the cannabis case. While Shanmukh Jaswant had previously gained attention for a hit-and-run incident, this recent episode involving cannabis has once again thrust him into the spotlight.
