BENGALURU, 27 MAY

A well-known Telugu actress Hema has sought time to appear before the Anti-Narcotics Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) of the City police in connection with the rave party which was raided near Electronic City recently.

The actress has wanted seven days’ time from CCB citing that she was down with viral fever. Police had issued notices to eight people, including the actress who tested positive for consumption of drugs in the rave party. Police said that they will serve a second notice to the actress.

The police had on 20 May raided the rave party at GM farmhouse near the Electronic City and seized narcotic substances from the spot. It is learnt that influential people in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh are putting pressure on the authorities to protect the Telugu actress.

The investigation into the source of drugs could possibly expose a huge drug racket and the arrested persons wield considerable influence. Of the 98 blood samples collected from people at the rave party, 86 of them tested positive for drugs. 

The police raided the rave party titled ‘Sunset to Sunrise Victory’, which was attended by around 100 people, including techies, Telugu actors, and others. MDMA, cocaine, ganja, charas, and other narcotic substances were allegedly used by those who attended the party. Salar News
