Bengaluru police files chargesheet against Telugu actress Hema

Karnataka High Court in an interim order has stayed proceedings against Telugu actress Kolla Hema in a drug consumption case. The actress allegedly tested positive for drugs after she attended a rave party at a farmhouse in Bengaluru in May 2024. 

Justice Hemant Chandangoudar in his order noted the charges against Hema under Section 27(b) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, for consumption of narcotic drugs or psychotropic substance, had no corroborative evidence and were based solely on the confession of a co-accused in the case.

The actress had been arrested on June 3 last year after she failed to appear before the central crime branch for investigation and was charged with consumption of narcotic drugs, providing false information to the police during the raid, having prior knowledge of banned substances and attempting to mislead investigators. She was released on bail 10 days after her arrest.

A raid was conducted by the central crime branch of Bengaluru city police at a rave party hosted at GR Farms in Singena Agrahara last year in May where over 80 individuals tested positive for drugs. A charge sheet was filed against them in the month of September. 

Hema had been charged with consumption of MDMA pills. However, the actress denied the allegations and even highlighted delays in her medical exam. 

Hema had filed a petition seeking quashing of the chargesheet and a stay on the proceedings against her in an NDPS special court. A stay has been granted to her which will be in force till the court takes up her petition for further hearing.

‘No difference between Congress, PFI’: Karnataka BJP

Bengalore: Coming down heavily on the Congress for demanding a ban on the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on the lines of the Popular Front of India, the ruling BJP has equated the PFI with the Congress. Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh said on Friday that there was no difference between the ideologies of the Congress party and the PFI. “I don’t know what Congress leaders know about the RSS. A few of them want votes of Muslims and that is why they are demanding a ban on the RSS,” he said. “RSS is a patriotic organisation. It is not getting any funds from the government. It is not important whether it is registered or not. RSS is working for the welfare of the country. But, PFI is indulging in anti-national activities,” he stated.
