Police officials said that out of 101 people who took part in the rave party, the report of 86 people came positive for consumption of drugs.
Eight people including actress Hema are suspected of having consumed drugs and bringing in drugs in large quantities to the party, police said.
The CCB has so far served notice to eight people to appear in person before the police and is also slated to serve notice to more people from Tuesday.
