Rave party. Drugs. Tollywood connection. We are back to listening to these terms together. Yet again. Ever since the 2017 Tollywood drug scandal, the issue has garnered public attention and media scrutiny like never before.
Earlier today, a rave party at a Madhapur residential building in Hyderabad came in for a raid from the Hyderabad police and sleuths from the Anti-Narcotics Bureau. Tollywood producer Venkat has been arrested along with four others. A huge cache of LSD was recovered.
Deccan Chronicle today reported that several others from the Telugu film industry have also been arrested in the rave party bust.
So far, the authorities have not revealed the names of those persons associated with Tollywood. A Hyderabad-based TV channel claimed that those arrested were mostly female artists and starlets.
A lot of times, early media reports resort to exaggeration when people from the glamour industry are exposed in raids. Soon, the issue fritters away after the initial hullabaloo.
