Drugs case: Former Karnataka Minister's son Aditya Alva held
Bengaluru: Aditya Alva, an accused in the high profile drugs case in Karnataka, has been arrested, police said here on Tuesday.
Alva, son of former minister late Jeevaraj Alva, has been absconding for the past five months ever since the state police launched a crackdown against drug peddlers, suppliers, and rave party organizers.
He was arrested on Monday night in Chennai, based on a tip-off.
"Absconding accused Aditya Alva has been arrested in Chennai in connection with the drug case registered at cottonpet police station...," a police official said.
Kannada film actress Ragini Dwivedi, Sanjjanaa Galrani, party organizers Viren Khanna, Aditya Agarwal, RTO clerk K Ravishankar, a few Nigerians and several others were arrested already in this connection.
Police launched a crackdown on the drug traffickers, peddlers, and consumers after the Narcotics Control Bureau arrested three people from Bengaluru with drug haul last year.
The trio had told the NCB sleuths that they were supplying drugs to Kannada film actors and singers.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.
She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.
Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."
Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
