Authorities stated that Ashok Kumar was organizing rave parties every weekend, frequently bringing young men and women from Andhra Pradesh. During the raid, police also seized a Fortuner car (AP31SR001) with a fake MP (Member of Parliament) sticker, which was allegedly used to avoid paying toll fees at toll gates.

Excise officials are probing the source of the fake MP sticker. Ashok Kumar, who is also believed to be involved in the cockfighting business, has been remanded in custody for further investigation.

This incident has once again highlighted the growing menace of rave parties and drug abuse in the city, prompting authorities to intensify their crackdown on such illegal activities.
