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 organisers.

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 organisers Viren Khanna, Aditya Agarwal, RTO clerk K Ravishankar, a few Nigerians and several others were already arrested 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 a drug haul last year.

The trio had told the NCB sleuths that they were supplying drugs to Kannada film actors and singers. PTI
