Twenty-nine youngsters, including ten girls and nineteen boys, were held for causing public nuisance at a private party in Lonavala, on Wednesday night.

While no drugs were found, the police seized ten bottles of whiskey and vodka from the spot.

According to the police, six youths among those arrested are from Pune, including an Australian girl studying at ILS Pune, while the rest are from Mumbai.

Senior inspector, Balraj Lanjile, who conducted the raid, informed the youths were celebrating one Mumbai-resident, Anmal Thakkar’s birthday at his uncle’s bungalow in Ryewood Park. The loud music from the party compelled the local residents to call the police.

“They were drinking and dancing. The loud music blaring from the speakers was causing a nuisance for the residents.

First, a policemen patrolling the area asked the revellers to keep it down. However, the party continued as loud as ever.

So we sent a constable at around 1.30 am, but he informed that everyone there was intoxicated and no one would listen to him.

Hence, we planned a raid and arrived at the bungalow at 2.40 am. We found the boys and girls under the influence of alchohol, dancing in the garden and the terrace to the loud music.

Along with the youths, we also arrested the DJ who had come from Mumbai, for causing public nuisance,” Lanjile said.

He added, “Among those arrested are students, college graduates and children of influential businessmen in Mumbai.

We have contacted their families and friends. We are yet to check their backgrounds. Among the arrested is a girl of Australian origin who studies in ILS college of Pune.

We have no problems with private parties, but as they were creating public nuisance with the loud music, we had to take an action.”

The arrested were produced at the Wadgaon court on Thursday morning and have been remanded to one-day police custody.
