Bollywood
actor
Vivek
Oberoi's
brother-in-law
Aditya
Alva
is
reportedly
one
of
the
accused
in
the
Sandalwood
drugs
case.
According
to
reports,
he
has
been
absconding
since
early
September.
India
Today
reported
that
a
raid
was
conducted
at
Alva's
Bengaluru
residence,
where
the
police
found
55-gram
dry
marijuana
and
3.5-gram
ecstasy.
Aditya
Alva,
son
of
former
Karnataka

Jeevraj
Alva
is
the
sixth
accused
named
in
the
FIR
registered
at
Cottonpet
Police
Station
in
the
Sandalwood
Drug
Case.
The
police
have
also
claimed
there
is
digital
evidence
showing
he
was
in
constant
touch
with
drug
peddlers,
and
that
accused
Ravishankar
also
confessed
about
Aditya
Alva's
role
in
procuring
and
supplying
drugs
at
parties.
The
crime
branch
has
issued
a
lookout
circular
against
Alva's
name
and
has
formed
teams
to
arrest
him.
Meanwhile,
Aditya
has
moved
the
court
for
quashing
of
FIR
against
his
name,
but
the
court
has
not
provided
him
any
relief
so
far.
According
to
another
report
in
Free
Press
Journal,
the
Bengaluru's
Central
Crime
Branch
police
issued
a
second
summons
to
Vivek
Oberoi's
wife,
Priyanka,
Aditya
Alva's
sister.
CCB
Summoned
Vivek
Oberoi's
Wife
Twice
A
senior
police
officer
confirmed
that
the
second
summons
was
sent
through
WhatsApp.
The
police
reportedly
served
the
first
summons
on
Thursday
asking
her
to
appear
before
the
CCB
on
Friday,
which
she
did
not,
"Hence,
we
have
issued
a
second
summon
to
her,"
(sic)
police
said.
The
CCB
reportedly
also
raided
Vivek
Oberoi's
Mumbai
residence
after
receiving
a
tip-off
that
Aditya
Alva
could
have
taken
shelter
there.
Senior
Officer
Says,
'Wanted
To
Question
His
Relatives'
The
report
in
Free
Press
Journal
quoted
a
senior
officer
as
saying,
"We
need
to
question
Priyanaka
as
we
suspect
she
knows
about
her
brother's
whereabouts.
She
has
not
honoured
the
summon
to
appear
on
Friday.
So,
we
have
again
issued
a
summon
to
her.
We
have
all
reasons
to
believe
that
Alva
is
in
Mumbai.
Besides,
we
also
wanted
to
question
his
relatives
there
regarding
his
whereabouts."
