The event took place under the jurisdiction of the Munirabad police station. Based on the viral footage, a case was booked against resort owner Piyush and the manager for organizing the gathering without approval.
According to police, the program was held in an open area in violation of regulations. A notice has been issued under the KP Act. Koppal District Superintendent of Police Ram Arasiddi stated that an investigation is underway to identify attendees. A special team has been constituted to monitor illegal activities at the resort, while the district administration has also set up a task force. Despite earlier complaints, the recurrence of such unauthorized events remains a matter of concern.
