Bengaluru: In a big breaking news around the rave party celebrated on drugs on the city outskirts last weekend, the police on Thursday got the blood reports of 86 revelers whose samples were taken at the spot, among whom included senior Telugu actress Hema who also tested positive.
In an update on the probe into the Rave party, the Anti-Narcotics wing of the Central Crime Branch of Karnataka revealed that out of 73 blood samples of men and 30 of women taken at the spot, 59 men and 27 women including actress Hema have tested positive for drug consumption.
The police served a notice to those tested positive to appear for questioning.

It was a lie
Bengaluru Police Commissioner B. Dayananda confirmed on Tuesday that popular Telugu actress Hema was present at the rave party and she recorded the video in the city itself.
Sex racket angle
While the investigation is still on to determine the use of drugs by the revelers, the Karnataka Police is also probing the possibility of a sex racket being operated alongside the supply of drugs.

Five individuals were arrested in the case and the police department has transferred the investigation from the Electronics City Police Station to the Narcotics Wing of the City Central Crime Branch (CCB).
The investigation revealed that the Rave party began on Saturday evening (May 20) at the GM Farm House in Singena Agrahara on the outskirts of Bengaluru and over 200 people attended it.
Many attendees left the farmhouse in the wee hours of Sunday (May 21), while others joined the party on Sunday.
Sources said that each individual was charged Rs 2 lakh for entry and was asked to claim that they were attending a birthday party.
Police sources confirmed that they are strongly suspecting that the organisers were also running a sex racket.
Everything was planned meticulously and all demands of participants were fulfilled.
Home Minister Dr G. Parameshwara stated that the government aims to make Karnataka a drug-free state and will not tolerate Rave parties.
He warned that students who come to Karnataka for studies and engage in taking drugs and selling them, are being monitored and will be sent back to their states.
The police earlier said that the Rave party, titled ‘Sunset to Sunrise Victory,’ was attended by more than 100 people, including techies, Telugu actors, and others.
MDMA, cocaine, hydro ganja, and other substances were allegedly used by those who attended the party.
