Police arrests kin of celebrities, VIPs in illegal rave party in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police have arrested 142 persons including kin of celebrities in connection with the illegally organised rave party. The party was going on in one of the star hotels in the Banjara Hills area which was raided by the police.

During the raid, the police seized some prohibited contents such as cocaine and weed from the accused.

Among those detained were Niharika, daughter of actor Naga Babu, Niharika, who is also megastar Chiranjeevi's niece. Naga Babu later released a video stating that his daughter has no association with drugs.

Rahul Sipligunj, singer and winner of the third session of the Big Boss Telugu reality show, was also among those detained.

Interestingly he was the one who had sung the theme song when Hyderabad police launched the campaign against drugs on February 12.

Among others at the party were the daughter of a top policeman from Andhra Pradesh and also the son of a Telugu Desam MP from the state. Congress leader from Telangana, Anjan Kumar Yadav, said his son had gone to a birthday party and all sorts of lies and scandals were being floated. He said all pubs in the city should be closed.

The Station House Officer (SHO) at Banjara Hills Shiva Chandra has been suspended for negligence of duty by Hyderabad police commissioner CV Anand. He was replaced by K Nageshwar Rao from the task force.

The pub at the hotel, reportedly owned by the daughter of a former MP from erstwhile Khammam district, is popular among party-goers.

This raid comes at a time when the police have intensified its drive against drugs. A new Hyderabad-Narcotics Enforcement Wing has been constituted for the purpose and is taking tough action against those peddling or consuming drugs. Recently, an engineering student died of a drug overdose.
