Kannada cinema's current reigning star Puneeth talks about his new innings on television.
The raids were carried out across 23 locations in the state and involved around 200 sleuths, they said.
Karnataka has been in mourning after movie star Puneeth Rajkumar passed into the ages on October 29.
Puneeth fan M D Riti lists five films that she consider to be amongst his best.
'There is a popular forward doing the rounds in Bangalore now, about Appu, that says, 'Kaanadanthe Mayavaadanu Namma Shiva, Kailasa Serikondanu' (our Shiva disappeared from sight and reached heaven.)' 'These are the words of a popular Kannada song that Appu sang as a child.' 'Nobody expected that he would actually live out the words of his song some day.'
