The rave party, named ‘Sunset to Sunrise Victory,’ took place at GM Farmhouse in Singena Agrahara, located in the Electronics City area. Several high-profile youths from Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka attended the party, including Telugu actresses Hema and Ashi Roy.

The attendees comprised 73 men and 30 women. Blood tests conducted at a private hospital confirmed that 59 men and 27 women had consumed narcotic substances.
