In an unnerving development, Mumbai-based actress Chrisann Pereira has been jailed in the UAE’s Sharjah after she was found carrying drugs hidden in an award trophy even as the Mumbai Police nabbed a person who had trapped her and two others into becoming “drug mules”.

Chrisann’s distraught family here said that Chrisann, 27 – in jail since April 1 – is innocent and sought her early release from the UAE prison after her bail plea was rejected on Monday (April 24) there.

“We are appealing to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister for External Affairs for their intervention in the matter to secure the release of our daughter… After the Mumbai Police investigation, it is clear that she was framed in the whole thing,” Chrisann Pereira’s mother Premila Pereira told IANS.
