A significant uproar has occurred in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, due to an advertisement for an explicit party. The advertisement, which appeared on social media, promoted a party scheduled for September 21st. The invitation was extended to individuals over 18 years old and stipulated that attendees must be without clothing. This unusual requirement quickly spread online, causing major public controversy and leading to law enforcement intervention.
Within 24 hours, the Raipur police arrested seven individuals involved with the event. The police are currently interrogating the suspects. The case has sparked debate about how such private events could be organized without police awareness.
The controversy started with the advertisement circulating on social media. After the advertisement went viral, the police took action. The police conducted raids and apprehended the organizers. The police also retrieved digital evidence, including Instagram IDs, from the organizers’ mobile phones. Despite the arrests, the organizers denied any involvement in planning the party.
Police sources suggested that the organizers aimed to gain popularity and profit through deceptive means. The advertisement for the explicit party did not indicate a venue or detail payment procedures.
**Event Parameters:**
* Entry Fee: ₹40,000, inclusive of overnight stay.
* Promotion: Primarily on Instagram.
* Payment: Details and instructions would be released after payment was received via a link or messenger service.
* Charges: Some individuals are reported to have paid between ₹20,000 and ₹40,000 for single and couple entries.
* Allegations: Possible links to girls involved in drug-related activities.
**Political and Societal Responses:**
The issue has sparked political controversy. The Congress party has accused the BJP government of enabling such activities, while the BJP highlighted its quick response. BJP MLA Ajay Chandrakar brought up the topic of the Congress’s history. Women’s Commission and Hindu organizations have called for strong action and demonstrations. The NSUI criticized the police for alleged negligence despite earlier warnings.
**Legal Ramifications and Action:**
The police have filed cases under Section 79 of the IPC (causing public disturbance) and Sections 67/67A of the IT Act (obscene content). The advertised party is very controversial given the social and cultural norms. Police have arrested an inter-state suspect from Madhya Pradesh for advertising the party on social media.
**Instagram Promotion:**
On September 13, the Instagram handle ‘sinful_writer1’ posted the invitation for the ‘Raipur **** PARTY.’ Once the invitation went viral, the police became involved. The main suspect is from Madhya Pradesh. Police have canceled the party and are investigating.
