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.
