Anti Narcotics cell inspector among five held in rave raid

Mumbai (PTI) - In a big embarrassment to Mumbai
police, an Anti Narcotics Cell inspector was among five
persons arrested by the Raigad police Monday after they raided
a rave party where drugs were being used.
Hours after his arrest early Monday, Anil Jadhav was
suspended by the western Indian state of Maharashtra
government
Jadhav has been suspended pending an inquiry, a senior
official said.
"Five persons, including inspector Anil Jadhav of
Mumbai's Anti Narcotics Cell, were arrested in connection with
the rave party where drugs were provided to the youths for
consumption," Raigad district Superintendent of Police R D
Shinde said. Incidentally, the day this party was busted, June
26, is also the International Day against Drug Abuse.
Besides Jadhav, the other four arrested were
identified as Jadhav's aide Sunil Ghule, the party organisers
Snehjit Sajalkar, Kushankumar Sujankumar, hotel manager Rahul
Khanna while one more person Vickey Shah is still absconding,
Shinde said.
Around 290 youths including 59 girls from well-off
families had attended the party held at Khalapur in Raigad
district off the Mumbai-Pune expressway, 60 km from here, last
night.
Home Minister R R Patil earlier in the day said any
police officer found to be involved in the incident would be
suspended.
An inquiry has been initiated into the rave party,
Patil said, adding that he has sought details of postings of
Anti Narcotic Cell officers.
Those who have finished their tenure will be shunted
out, he said.
"All the youths were let off after medical
examination," said Raigad Deputy SP Namrata Patil.
