Hyderabad: A day after Cyberabad police registered a case against BRS working president KT Rama Rao's brother-in-law Raj Pakala, accusing him of violating NDPS Act, he was asked to appear before Mokila police.
In a notice issued to Raj, Mokila police said: "There are reasonable grounds to question you to ascertain facts and circumstances from you in relation to the present investigation. Hence, you are directed to appear before us with proof of identity and residence."
Police also warned him that "failure to attend/comply with the terms of notice, will render you liable for arrest under section 35(3),(4),(5) and (6) of BNSS."
On Saturday night, Raj hosted a Diwali party for his relatives and friends at his farmhouse in Janwada. Late in the night, the special operations team of Cyberabad police conducted searches and Mokila police registered a case in connection with the NDPS Act.
Prohibition and excise sleuths also registered a separate case for violation of the Excise Act. Out of the 21 men who underwent a drug test, one person tested positive for cocaine.
The alleged drug abuser who was at the party, Madduri Vijay, while speaking to the media, denied the allegations and accused police of attributing a statement to him which he never told police. Vijay is CEO of a software company owned by Raj.
