Bengaluru Police reveal that Hema is among 86 individuals who test positive for drug consumption. Despite Hema’s public denial via video, her flight tickets confirm her travel to Bengaluru. The police label her statements as false. The party, titled “VASU’S BIRTHDAY” Sunset to Sunrise Victory, was held at GR Farmhouse.
The initial FIR, registered on May 19, documented complaints of public disturbance and the sale and consumption of illegal substances such as MDMA, cocaine, and hydroganja. Law enforcement, led by Deputy Superintendent of Police B. S. Mohannumar and Police Inspector B. Ayyanna Reddy, conducted the raid at 4:00 AM. They employed narcotic detection kits and other investigative tools.

Among the 103 attendees tested, 86 were found to have consumed drugs.
