The Central Crime Branch (CCB) have seized significant amount of drugs after a raid at a high-profile rave party hosted near Electronic City in Bengaluru early Monday morning. 

The raid at GR farmhouse was conducted at 3 am, following suspicion of drug abuse, said police, as reported by Hindustan Times.

During the raid, the CCB team discovered a stash of drugs, including 17 MDMA tablets and cocaine. The event, organized by a Hyderabad-based event planner, extended past the permitted time of 2 am which drew the attention of anti-narcotics officials. 

Reportedly, over 100 attendees, including 25 young women from Andhra Pradesh and Bengaluru, were present, with some apparently flown in specifically for the occasion, said police. 

There was an identification card of an Andhra Pradesh MLA, also found in a luxury car parked near the venue, alongside several other high-end vehicles. It is also reported that some Telugu actresses were present in this party as well.

"The investigation is ongoing. We have registered a case under the NDPS Act and IPC Section 268 (public nuisance)," Electronic City police inspector K Naveen was quoted as saying.

Following the raid, five individuals have been arrested, including the party organizer and three drug peddlers.
