Ahmedabad, July 21
A late-night police raid late last week at Glade One Resort near Sanand in Gujarat's Ahmedabad district exposed a high-profile liquor party allegedly organised as a birthday celebration for real estate businessman Pratik Sanghvi, police said on Monday.
Acting on a tip-off, around 100 people were attending the party and Ahmedabad police detained around 42 people, who were under the influence of alcohol.
Among those caught were individuals from prominent localities and even out-of-state guests.
The list includes Jimit Jayeshbhai Sheth and Harsh Jayeshbhai Sheth, both from Sargasan, Gandhinagar; Bhavesh Ramanresh Kathiriya from Ramol, Ahmedabad; Pratik Suresh Jat from Nashik, Maharashtra; Kushal Kiritbhai Prajapati from Odhav village; Deep Chandrakantbhai Vadodariya from Nawavadi, Ahmedabad; Rajan Gopalbhai Soni from Navi Mumbai; Ronit Rajeshbhai Panchal from New Ranip; Noman Mukhtar Sheikh from Sarkhej; Jay Piyushbhai Vyas, also from Sargasan; Mahavirsingh Vikramsingh Solanki from Odhav; and Yash Dhanshyambhai Jat Sen from Bapunagar.
Police issued notices to 26 young women and released them, while the remaining attendees were taken in for medical testing.
The operation, which lasted until late Sunday night, was carried out under Gujarat's strict prohibition laws and is expected to lead to formal charges in the coming days.
The case is still under investigation.
