Hyderabad Pub Raid: 8 Drug-Positive, Actress Hema Cleared
3 Apr
Summary
- Elite Action Group raided a Hyderabad pub, finding eight individuals drug-positive.
- Telugu actress Hema tested negative in the raid and denied prior allegations.
- Police await full forensic reports for the eight individuals who tested positive.
The Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement (EAGLE) has conducted a significant raid at a pub in Hyderabad, leading to the apprehension of eight individuals who tested positive for drugs. The operation, which took place on Thursday night under the Gachibowli police limits, targeted nightlife venues as part of intensified anti-narcotics checks.
Telugu actress Hema was also subjected to testing during the raid. She subsequently released a statement and a video on Instagram, asserting that her test result was negative and that she had "nothing to hide." This comes after her name was previously linked to a 2024 Bengaluru rave party, where initial reports claimed she tested positive and was named in a chargesheet.
At that time, Hema had refuted the allegations, stating she was being unfairly targeted. The recent negative test in Hyderabad, according to Hema, vindicates her position and disproves the earlier accusations. However, authorities are continuing their investigation into the Quake Arena case and are awaiting comprehensive forensic and medical reports for the eight individuals who tested positive.
