Sandalwood drugs case: CCB summons Vivek Oberoi’s wife for 2nd time

Bengaluru, Oct 17 : Bengaluru’s Central Crime Branch police on Saturday issued a second summon to Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi’s wife, Priyanka, who is also the sister of Aditya Alva, an absconding accused in the high-profile sandalwood drugs case.
Speaking to reporters, a senior police officer confirmed that the police have served her the second summon through WhatsApp.
The police added that the first summon was served to her on Thursday to appear before the CCB on Friday, but she didn’t appear. “Hence, we have issued a second summon to her,” the police said.
After securing the search warrant, the CCB had carried out searches at Vivek Oberoi’s Mumbai residence over suspicions of hiding Aditya Alva.
Aditya Alva, one of the accused in the Sandalwood drugs cases, has been absconding ever since the case came to light.
“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,” a senior officer said.
