HYDERABAD : The Bengaluru police on Thursday said that 86 persons who took part in a rave party at a farmhouse tested positive for drug consumption. Among them are Tollywood actors Hema, Aashi Roy and Chiranjeevi, a supporting actor.
It may be recalled that Bengaluru police raided GN Reddy farmhouse a couple of days ago and busted the rave party.
The police are likely to summon all the 86 revellers who tested positive for drug consumption, including Hema, Aashi Roy and Chiranjeevi. According to the Bengaluru police, out of 73 men whose blood samples were sent to the lab for testing, 59 tested positive while 27 of 30 women were found to have consumed drugs at the rave party.
Actress Hema released a video on social media claiming that she had not attended the rave party and that she was in Hyderabad. A source said that Hema made a video from the farmhouse in Bengaluru and released it on social media. Aashi Roy also released a similar video. However both their test results were positive and the police have issued notice to them.
The sleuths of Anti- Narcotic Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) raided a farmhouse on Monday early morning following a credible tip-off. The police arrested five accused and identified one of them as Vasu L (35), who organised the party as part of his birthday celebration. He works in an IT firm in Hyderabad. Along with him, Mohammed Abubaer Siddiq (29), V Randheer(43), YM Arun Kumar (35), and D Nagababu were arrested.
The police are also trying to find the source of drugs supplied to the revellers at the rave party.
