After receiving credible information, the police conducted a raid at the resort and reportedly discovered a quantity of illegal narcotics. They also found a stock of imported liquor. Photos and videos from the raided venue are now going viral on the internet. The visuals show scenes from inside the resort during the crackdown.

According to a News18 report, the authorities tested 48 attendees for drug consumption, and according to reports, at least nine individuals have been found who consumed cannabis (ganja). Consequently, a case has been registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The investigators are currently working to trace the source of the drugs found at the event.

During the raid, the police reportedly found a person named Damodar, who was actively consuming marijuana at the party. He has been taken into custody by the police, while the investigation is underway to examine the extent of drug usage at the party.

Apart from the drug-related charges, Mangli has also been booked for organising the party without prior permission from the police and serving imported alcohol without a valid excise licence. Similarly, the general manager of Tripura Resorts has also been booked for allowing the event without the necessary permissions. Mangli is yet to issue any clarification if statement regarding the same.
