Sex Racket Allegations Surface In Bengaluru Rave Party: Karnataka Police Inquiry Underway

The Karnataka Police, currently investigating a rave party in Bengaluru where narcotics were seized, is also exploring the possibility of a sex racket operating alongside the drug supply.

Five individuals have been arrested in connection with the case, and the investigation has been transferred from the Electronics City Police Station to the Narcotics Wing of the City Central Crime Branch (CCB).

The rave party, which began on the evening of Saturday, May 20, at the GM Farm House in Singena Agrahara on the outskirts of Bengaluru, saw over 200 attendees. Many participants left the farmhouse in the early hours of Sunday, May 21, while others joined the festivities later that day.

According to sources, each attendee was charged Rs 2 lakh for entry and instructed to claim they were attending a birthday party. Police sources have indicated a strong suspicion that the organizers were also running a sex racket, with all demands of participants being meticulously fulfilled.

State Home Minister Dr. G Parameshwara emphasized that the government aims to make Karnataka a drug-free state and will not tolerate rave parties. He warned that students who come to Karnataka for studies and engage in drug use and trafficking are being monitored and will be sent back to their states.

Police earlier reported that the rave party, titled 'Sunset to Sunrise Victory,' was attended by more than 100 people, including tech professionals, Telugu actors, and others. Substances such as MDMA, cocaine, hydro ganja, and other drugs were allegedly used by the attendees.
