Actress Hema arrested, crime branch took major action

Bengaluru: Bengaluru. Actress Hema has been arrested by the Crime Branch in connection with the rave party.

This is the whole matter
The Central Crime Branch (CCB) of Bengaluru Police has issued a second notice to eight people, including Telugu actress Hema, who was tested positive for narcotics, asking them to appear for questioning on Saturday. The notice has been issued after Hema did not appear for the preliminary interrogation scheduled on May 27, citing illness. The actress had sought an additional week’s time to join the interrogation, which has now been rescheduled for June 1. For those unaware, a rave party was held at a farmhouse in Electronic City on the night of May 19 and 20.

The party, advertised as a birthday celebration, was busted by the Crime Branch, where they seized 17 MDMA tablets and cocaine. Medical examination of the attendees revealed that 86 persons, including 59 men and 27 women, had consumed drugs. A total of 103 people attended the event, including another Telugu actress Ashi Roy, who later claimed in a video that she was unaware of the drug use and thought it was a birthday party. So far, the Crime Branch has arrested five people in the case, including drug peddlers and the party organiser. The farmhouse reportedly belongs to Con Card owner Gopal Reddy, which was rented out to a man named Vasu from Hyderabad, who organised the party.
