00:20Narcotics liquor seized in this very Pune Rave Party.
00:24The Rave Party had seven accused, including two women held from this very spot.
00:29But that's what we are picking up at the very top of this segment.
00:31These are the preliminary details that we have.
00:34We also have Omkar Wable joining us from Pune to bring us more details on this very incident.
00:41Omkar, very good afternoon to you.
00:43Quite a shocking incident.
00:45Rather, one would also say an embarrassing one at this given point.
00:49What more details are we picking up?
00:53Exactly. The incident took place last night.
00:56So, Pune crime guards carried out late night raid.
00:58In the luxury guest house located in the Kharadi area of Pune, called Sabert.
01:03So, seven to ten people were partying at that place.
01:07One of the informers of Pune police got the information, he got the tip.
01:11And then, Pune crime guards raid the place.
01:13And after that, shocking thing is, they detained seven people.
01:18One of them is Pranjar Kherkar, who is the son-in-law of former minister, former BJP minister,
01:26Eknath Kharse, who is now politically aligned with the Sharath Pawar group.
01:31But, interestingly, police found some intoxicated substance over there, like cocaine and marijuana, everything.
01:41So, now, police are preparing their F.I.R., they are still drafting everything.
01:46But seven people are detained, till now two of them are women.
01:50And the main thing is, Pune CP will brief everything in some time.
01:54But, till now, seven are detained.
01:56And after that, they will be brought to the Pune station's court.
02:01Right, Omkar.
02:02So, quite disturbing details at this given point.
02:05And, definitely, as we have been speaking, it's an embarrassment for the Sharath Pawar camp itself.
02:11Sharath Pawar aide's husband has also been arrested.
02:13Take us through the details of who else have been picked up.
02:17Because, right now, if we are to go by the details that's coming in,
02:21seven accused, including two women, have been held from this very rave party.
02:27Exactly.
02:27Well, Pune crime is still cross-verifying and some formalities are to be completed soon.
02:34But, still now, they have launched the detailed investigation to trace supply chain to seize the drugs.
02:40Because, identification and the supply chain of drugs and identifying those details is important before they have to go to the court.
02:49So, now, police are investigating further.
02:52And, interestingly, all seven accused are still detained and they'll be produced in the station's court by the afternoon.
02:59Right.
02:59You know, we are also looking at how there is the narcotics department involved.
03:04Are there any reports at this given point that's coming in, in terms of what all may have gone down there,
03:11in terms of drug abuse, substance abuse, if anything, that was found so far?
03:17Well, primary report, it highlights two people were intoxicated with this cocaine.
03:24So, test of two people already positive.
03:26Others are still going on because the early morning, Pune police brought those all accused to the substance in hospital.
03:35And, after that, after the medical test, now arrest procedures are going and they're still underway.
03:41But, main thing is, there was a substance called cocaine and marijuana police found at the spot.
03:49And, also, spot panchanama is still going on.
03:51Right, Omkar.
03:52So, these are the preliminary details, viewers, that we are getting.
03:55So, Omkar, at this given point, have we seen any statement or reaction coming in from the NCP Sharath Bawar faction itself on this very incident?
04:06Well, Rohit Bawar is going to conduct his press conference just in some time.
04:12But, before that, BJP leader, Mahajan and other, like Praveen Dharek and everything,
04:18they started alleging the NCP leaders and already, reactions have already started.
04:25Right, and have the reports come in for Pranjal himself?
04:28I'm sure there are medical tests that have been done for him as well.
04:32Have the reports arrived for him in terms of what he may have been under the influence of as well?
04:38Well, we'll have to wait for the final report, but preliminary reports are clearly indicating that he was under the influence of alcohol.
04:48But, still, police are cross-verifying whether, how exactly they can put NDPS Act in this whole framework.
04:57Right. So, if we look at it from a legal perspective, what would you say if there are traces of such substances found in the medical reports for Pranjal,
05:08what would you say awaits for him, legally speaking?
05:11Exactly. So, that is why the Pune crime branch is still drafting the FIR, some formalities are underway,
05:19and after the meeting of Pune's CP, they are going to give a press briefing, and after that, everything will be clear.
05:27Right. So, it is a little too early in terms of the probe to speak of what exactly has come forward.
05:32Also, if we are to look at the rave party itself that was organized, any details of who else might have been involved in the organizing of this very party?
05:44Any other big names coming to the forefront?
05:48Not yet, but two days ago, one of the accused, he had his birthday two days ago, and that is why all people come from the Maharashtra,
05:57they were celebrating at the same time. In the evening, they went to a local lounge bar. After that, they were continuously hopping,
06:06and late night, they booked, it wasn't a house party, they booked a studio apartment, so they can enjoy together and they can celebrate everything,
06:15and that is how police got the tip, and crime branch, two officers of crime branch were continuously following them.
06:21Then they got the tip, and that's how Pune crime branch redid the place, and they got everything over there.
06:27Right. Right, Romkar, thank you for bringing us all those details in terms of what exactly went down,
06:34and the investigation that has currently been launched into this very case.
06:38It is indeed a shocker, and yet again, an embarrassing moment for another politician,
06:43another political party in Maharashtra when we speak of abuse of power in the very state that we have rampantly been witnessing coming in.
