The suspects, including the main organizer from Andhra Pradesh, allegedly arranged the party, acquiring drugs from the Darknet. Excise officials confiscated 2.080 kg of dry ganja, 50 grams of OG Kush, LSD blot papers, and six vehicles. While nine suspects were detained, two remain at large as investigations proceed.
