During the raid, police found 21 male and 14 female participants at the party. One of the male participants tested positive for cocaine, and illegal liquor was also found on the premises

The officials discovered seven unauthorized foreign liquor bottles and ten loose Indian liquor bottles, totaling 10.5 liters. The premises were checked with a sniffer dog, and on suspicion, the male participants were tested with drug kits. No drugs could be fund in the premises, but one of the participants, Vijay Madduri tested positive for cocaine and was sent to the hospital for a blood test. A case was registered against him under section 27 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act at Mokila Police Station
