“It was a birthday-turned-pool party for which the 16 youngsters had gathered at the farmhouse in an unauthorised manner. They are all residents of Jaffarabad in Delhi,” said additional deputy commissioner of police, zone 1, Kumar Ranvijay Singh.

“No hard liquor or narcotics were found at the spot. But the gathering in itself was in direct violation of Section 144 of the CrPC that has been implemented in the district. Also, swimming pools are not permitted to operate,” said Singh.

All the attendees were booked at the Expressway police station for allegedly breaking Covid-9 guidelines (sections 188, 269, 270 of the Indian Penal Code and relevant sections of the Epidemic Act). Police also booked the Delhi-based owner of the farmhouse who has been traced but is yet to be apprehended, said officials.

Police suspect that the owner was renting out the place, though at the time of being apprehended, the detainees allegedly claimed that he was known to them. Efforts are on to nab him and take appropriate action, said the police.

The Noida police had also raided an unauthorised birthday party in Sector 93 under Phase 2 jurisdiction on May 30, in which 15 people had been booked after a neighbour complained of loud music. Police had also recovered alcohol and narcotics from the spot.

Police said that the three women from Uzbekistan had allegedly been staying in at the farmhouse for the last three days while the men, who were not known to them, had come Tuesday. The police are verifying if the estate was being leased out.
