Mumbai: The hundred people, who were detained by the Mumbai police last night during a raid at a rave party, have been let off this morning. Those detained included a large number of celebrity children and people connected to the film industry. Many of them were foreigners.
The raid was conducted at the famous Oak Woods Hotel in Juhu, where the rave party was being held.
Two IPL players - Rahul Sharma and Wayne Parnell of Pune Warriors - were also detained on charges of consuming banned drugs. Rahul, however, said that he was at the hotel but at a different party. "I went for a birthday party at Oakwoods Hotel in Juhu. I had just reached there but nobody was present."
His mother too said her son has done no wrong. "My son is fine, he went for a birthday party. How would he know whether people are going to take drugs over there or there is going to be a police raid? My son is fine, there is no problem. He has done no wrong," she said.
The players have undergone a medical test but the reports are yet to come in so there is no final confirmation yet that they did consume banned drugs.
Actor Himanshi Choudhary, who was present there, said it wasn't a rave party. "Wasn't a Rave. It was just a party. All in hospital for blood test now," she tweeted this morning.
"This wud not have been blown outta proportion. I heard the figures on drugs procured, seems bizarre. Will only know after da results of test," another tweet from her said.
Additional Commissioner of Police Vishwas Nagre Patil said that 58 boys and 38 girls were taken to Cooper hospital for a blood and urine test.
"The stuff was being disposed after consumption, so we are going to find out who the peddlers were and who organised the party. All details will be given only after complete investigation," he said.
The police had seized 110 grams of cocaine and drugs like Ecstasy from the spot and the source of the drug is being investigated. A case has been registered under the Narcotic Drug and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.
