More than 100 young men and women found at the venue were taken into custody for questioning as part of the investigation.

Acting on specific intelligence inputs that narcotic substances were being consumed at the party, a team comprising nearly 100 police officers and personnel surrounded the bungalow and conducted a surprise raid around midnight on Saturday. Preliminary investigations indicate consumption of narcotic substances during the event. Several suspicious materials used for intoxication were seized from the spot and have been sent for a forensic examination. Some partygoers were reportedly found in an intoxicated condition.
