'Family gathering maliciously labelled as rave party': KT Rama Rao on 'farmhouse' raid
Hyderabad/IBNS: Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader KT Rama Rao Monday said a family Diwali gathering was "maliciously labelled a rave party" hitting back hard in the row over police raids on his brother-in-law's 'farmhouse'.
The Cyberabad Special Operations Team raided a farmhouse in Telangana's Janwada during a party. It is believed to belong to Raj Pakala, brother-in-law of former minister and BRS chief KT Rama Rao.
KT Rama Rao, however, slammed the ruling Congress and the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party for "speaking recklessly... after officials stated no drugs were found".
Thirty people were said to have been partying and stocks of foreign liquor were reportedly seized during the raid on Saturday night following complaints by locals.
The revellers were all tested for drug abuse. One person, identified as Vijay, reportedly tested positive for cocaine.
All the rest tested negative.
The police have filed cases against two people- one of them is Vijay, who has been accused of abusing banned drugs and second, Raj Pakala, for allowing his premises to be misused.
The police have gathered at Oriental Villa No. 4 -- residence of Kalavakuntla Taraka Rama Rao in Rayadurgam, and Villa No. 5 belonging to Shailender Paka, and Villa No. 40 belonging to Raj Pakala.
