As many as 68 youngsters, including 21 women techies, were booked by the Cyberabad police on Sunday for taking part in a birthday party organised at a farm house in Kadthal village of Ranga Reddy district in violation of COVID-19 safety guidelines. The celebrations were held on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday.
Shamshabad DCP N Prakash Reddy said that 47 men, including the organiser and farmhouse owner K. Bharath (24), a techie, and 21 women gathered on the premises to celebrate the birthday of their friend Varun Goud, who is currently at large.
Acting on a tip-off, the sleuths of the Special Operations Team along with Kadthal police raided the farm house and found a large quantity of liquor and a huge sound system, he said.
