Telugu actress Hema on Monday was arrested in connection with Bengaluru rave party matter after questioning by the Central Crime Branch.
The Central Crime Branch (CCB) had summoned Hema to its office on Monday.
Sources said she deposed before her interrogators wearing a burqa to hide her identity. As her replies were not satisfactory, she was arrested.
The rave party was organised on May 19 at a farmhouse near Electronic City.
On May 22, at least 86 people tested positive for drug consumption at a recent rave party held on the outskirts of city. The raid sparked controversy due to reports confirming rampant drug use among the attendees.
The rave party, which was raided by the Anti-Narcotics Division of Karnataka Police, witnessed several attendees, which included 73 men and 30 women, including two Telugu actors.
Apart from actor Hema, the other Telugu actor who was a part of the party was Ashi Roy.
The blood samples of the guests of the rave party were sent to a laboratory for testing, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B Dayananda said.
While addressing the media, Dayananda said, “On the night of May 19, Bengaluru Police’s CCB, based on specific information, raided a farmhouse at Electronic City. Around 100 people were at the event where drugs and narcotic substances were found.”
The event conducted between 5 pm (May 18 ) and 6 am (May 19) was said to be a birthday party organised by a Hyderabad-based person named Vasu.
Police seized MDMA (Ecstacy) pills, MDMA crystals, hydro cannabis, cocaine, high-end cars, DJ equipment including sound and lighting worth Rs 1.5 crore during the raid.
