IPL Players, Rahul Sharma and Wayne Powell have been tested positive for Consuming Drugs during Rave Party Raid at Oakwood Premier Hotel in Juhu on May 20. Infact, 42 out of 44 accused persons have been tested of consuming Drugs.
A maximum of 6 months Jail is permissible in such a crime, which can further be lowered if the Plaintiff assures of not repeating this..
“Of the 44, two females tested negative, while the rest are positive,” Deputy Police Commissioner Pratap Dighaokar told PTI. These 44 people include two IPL cricketers Parnell and Sharma (both played for Pune Warriors India) and 38 women, police sources said.
Indian spinner Rahul Sharma’s participation in the ODI series against Sri Lanka was today thrown into jeopardy after he tested positive for consumption of drugs in a rave party in Mumbai in May, making his arrest inevitable.
On June 22, city police had declared the results of 46 of the 90 people’s blood samples, who attended the party, in which 44 tested positive, police said. Police had on May 20 raided the posh hotel and rounded up 90 patrons, including foreigners, following specific inputs about the presence of drugs at the party. They were let off after their urine and blood samples were taken.
BCCI, however, stood by the cricketer and said it would investigate the matter thoroughly before deciding the future course of action. “I don’t know why everyone is in a mood to execute Rahul Sharma without even going into the details,” BCCI Chief Srinivasan said.
“The BCCI will first procure each and every bit of relevant information and then study them before deciding on the course of action,” he added.
