Sources reveal that Hema attempted to divert the police investigation on multiple occasions. Despite receiving notices twice, she did not appear for the hearings. Today, she arrived at the CCB office wearing a burqa, presumably to avoid recognition.

Following her arrest, Hema was taken to KC General Hospital for a mandatory medical examination. The CCB police have confirmed that she will be presented before the court in Anekal tomorrow morning.

What was the incident?

A rave party held on the outskirts of Bengaluru has sparked controversy after reports confirmed rampant drug use among the attendees. Out of the 103 people present at the event, a staggering 86 individuals were found to have consumed drugs, according to official sources.

The revellers, comprising 73 men and 30 young women, indulged in substances like MDMA, cocaine, and hydro ganja, as confirmed by blood tests conducted post-party. Shockingly, 59 out of 73 men and 27 out of 30 young women tested positive for drug consumption, indicating widespread substance abuse during the gathering.

Among the attendees were Telugu actress Hema and Ashi Roy, whose blood test also returned positive for drug use, further emphasising the scale of the issue at hand. The rave party, organised to celebrate Vasu's birthday under "Sunset to Sun Rise Victory," saw a turnout of approximately one hundred to one hundred and fifty people.
