Telegu Actress Hema Arrested In Connection With Bengaluru Rave Party Case: ‘I’m Innocent’
The Central Crime Branch, working on the Bengaluru rave party case, arrested Telugu film actor Hema following questioning on Monday. The rave party was held on May 19 at a farmhouse near Electronic City.
The Central Crime Branch (CCB) summoned Hema to its office on Monday. Sources revealed she deposed before her interrogators wearing a burqa to hide her identity. As her answers were not satisfactory, she was arrested.
Hema’s comment
Referring to the media outside the police station, Hema said, “I didn’t do anything. I am innocent. Look at what they’re doing to me. I did not take drugs. I shared the initial denial video from Hyderabad, not Bengaluru. I even shared a video of me cooking biryani in Hyderabad.”
More about this Rave Party Case
The rave party was organised on the pretext of a birthday party. Here, most of the people had come from neighbouring Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. There were a few people from Bengaluru as well. Based on a tip-off, the CCB raided the location. They collected the blood samples of those who attended the party.
The blood test reports later confirmed that 86 people tested positive for narcotics. This includes Hema, too. A total of 103 people tested participated in the party. The participants included 73 men and 30 women. Police seized MDMA (Ecstacy) pills, MDMA crystals, hydrocannabis, cocaine, high-end cars, and DJ equipment, including sound and lighting, worth ₹1.5 crore during the raid.
Hema’s video
Last Monday, Hema released a video to the press in which she claimed that her name was dragged in for no reason. She was at a farmhouse on the outskirts of Hyderabad. Hema disclosed that she kept getting calls from reporters and well-wishers about her supposed arrest. She released a video to the press stating that she was in Hyderabad and not in Bengaluru.
She said in the video, “I have not gone anywhere; I am enjoying and chilling at a farmhouse in Hyderabad. Please don’t believe the rumours. I don’t know who’s there; it’s fake news that I was at the party.” She also released a video on Tuesday of her cooking at home.
