Popular Telugu actress Hema has sought 7 days’ time, citing health reasons, to appear before the Anti-Narcotics Wing of the Central Crime Branch (CCB) in connection with the rave party that was raided on the outskirts of Bengaluru recently.

Karnataka Police said that they would serve a second notice to the actress.

Police sources claimed that pressure is being applied by influential people in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to protect the Telugu actress.

Police had issued notices to eight people, including the actress who tested positive for consumption of drugs at the rave party. The rest are likely to appear for questioning on Monday before the officers. The Anti-Narcotics Wing is preparing to call them for questioning in a phased manner.

The probe has revealed that the arrested persons are highly connected and further investigation can expose a possible drug racket, the sources said.

Of the 98 blood samples collected from people at the rave party, the presence of drugs was confirmed in 86 of them. Police sources confirmed that more than 50 men and close to 30 women tested positive for drug consumption.

Recently, the Anti-Narcotics Wing of the CCB raided the rave party at GM Farmhouse near the Electronics City in Bengaluru and seized narcotic substances from the spot. MDMA, cocaine, ganja, charas, and other narcotic substances were allegedly used by those who attended the party.
