Hyderabad, Oct 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) Raj Pakala, brother-in-law of Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K.T. Rama Rao, was absconding, said the Excise Department after the raid on his farmhouse at Janwada near Hyderabad.
As one of the party attendees tested positive for cocaine and police also found unauthorised use of liquor, Raj Pakala was booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and also under the Excise Act.

According to FIR, Vijay Madduri tested positive for cocaine when a test was conducted with drug kits on all men present at the party. However, the organisers did not cooperate in conducting the test on women attendees with women staff.

MLAs K. Sanjay, Vivek Goud, Maganti Gopinath and others had an argument with the police officers.
The BRS leaders insisted police officers show search notices.
They suspect that something may have been planted in the premises and the police want to implicate their leader in a false case.
While talking to mediapersons, Sanjay got angry about a question and asked the journalist if she did not have liquor at home. When the journalist took strong exception to his remark, he apologized and withdrew his remark.
