Police raid illegal Holi party in Nagpur region

timesofindia.indiatimes.com — March 15, 2025 at 08:01 PM UTC

Police raided an unauthorized Holi party at a hotel on the Nagpur-Jabalpur Highway, leaving around 500 attendees without refunds after they paid entry fees. The event was held despite police denying permission the day before. Organizers Ashish Tiwari and Nilesh Rokade, along with co-accused Arif Shaikh, are facing charges. Police seized liquor and DJ equipment during the raid, which followed a tip-off. Attendees were reportedly unaware of the lack of permission when they bought tickets through an app and offline. Police are open to complaints from those who paid for entry.
