Upon reaching the location, the officers found that numerous outsiders were present at the event, and the organisers were serving alcohol. While the event was purportedly a launch party for a song, the police investigation revealed various irregularities. The authorities also recovered a large amount of hookah and smoking paraphernalia.
Several individuals, including two women, have been taken into custody for further questioning, and the police are in the process of ascertaining their identities. The farmhouse owner has been contacted, and it has been found that the organisers did not possess the necessary temporary or occasional licence for the event. Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
