"So far no arrest has been made by us. We have intercepted some persons. The probe is underway. Drugs have been recovered. We are investigating 8-10 persons," Sameer Wankhede, NCB zonal director, told the reporters. "I can't comment on it," Wankhede said when asked if any celebrity was present at the party.

Later, ANI cited NCB officials as saying that children of prominent Bollywood actors are being investigated in connection with the raid.

Last month, the directorate of revenue intelligence seized close to 3,000kg of heroin at Gujarat's Mundra port and recovered around 37 kg of the narcotic drug and other contraband items from Delhi and Noida.
