After receiving a tip-off, police conducted the surprise operation late at night and found a large group at the premises. Several bottles of alcohol and other items were seized. Police said the party involved alcohol consumption and the use of banned e-cigarettes. They are now examining the seized materials and the circumstances in which the event was organised.
The police also suspect that some attendees were minors. Medical examinations of those present were being conducted as part of the inquiry. The presence of minors and the allegations concerning consumption remain under investigation.
The process of registering a case against the bungalow owner and the organisers was underway, sources said. A separate allegation concerns a payment of Rs 6,000 allegedly made by an organiser to forest department personnel at the Yeoor entrance to facilitate vehicle access in violation of rules. The allegation has not been established, and the police and forest department are investigating the matter.

The raid has renewed attention on late-night parties in Yeoor's forest and residential areas, where parties, loud DJ music and hookah parlours have previously stoked controversy. Additional Commissioner of Police Ashok Dudhe said further investigation was underway where things like banned substances, minors attendance, banned e-cigarettes were used.
