A significant controversy has unfolded in Raipur, the capital of Chhattisgarh, concerning an advertisement for an explicit party. The advertisement, which circulated on social media, promoted an event scheduled for September 21st. It invited individuals over 18 years of age to attend the party without clothing. The news of the party spread rapidly, sparking considerable political and social debate. Raipur police responded swiftly, arresting seven individuals connected to the event within 24 hours.
Police are currently questioning the arrested suspects. However, a key question remains: how could such private parties be organized in the capital without the police’s knowledge? The controversy stemmed from the viral spread of the advertisement on social media platforms. Following the public outcry, police reportedly conducted raids before the party could take place, apprehending the organizers. Digital evidence, including Instagram IDs, was recovered from the organizers’ mobile phones. Despite the arrests, the accused deny any involvement in organizing such an event.
According to police sources, the organizers likely planned the event solely for popularity and to earn money through fraud. The advertisement for the explicit party did not specify a venue or provide details about payment transactions.
**Party Entry Details:**
* The entry fee for the party was set at ₹40,000, which included overnight accommodation.
* The event was promoted on social media platforms like Instagram.
* Plans were in place to provide further details after receiving payments via a link or messenger service.
* Sources indicate that some individuals had paid between ₹20,000 and ₹40,000 for single and couple entries.
* There are suggestions that girls involved in drug rackets were also associated with such parties.
**Political and Social Ramifications:**
The issue has ignited political tensions in the state. The Congress party has accused the BJP government of enabling such events. The BJP, in turn, has highlighted its quick action within 24 hours. BJP MLA Ajay Chandrakar also brought up the crimes that happened during the Congress’ time in power. The Women’s Commission has called for strict action. Hindu organizations protested and demanded the closure of clubs. Meanwhile, NSUI protested, accusing the police of negligence despite prior warnings.
**Legal Aspects and Actions:**
The police have filed cases under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), including Section 79 (causing public disturbance), and the IT Act (Section 67/67A – obscene material). Such events are now highly contentious within Chhattisgarh’s social and cultural context. The state’s social and political organizations have expressed deep concern. Chhattisgarh police have confirmed the arrest of an inter-state suspect from Madhya Pradesh for promoting the explicit party invitation.
**Instagram Post:**
On September 13, an Instagram handle named sinful_writer1 sent out an invitation for a ‘Raipur **** PARTY’. After the invitation went viral, the police took notice. The police have since canceled the party and arrested the suspects. Upon investigating the Instagram ID details, the police discovered that the main suspect hails from Anuppur district in Madhya Pradesh. The police have arrested the suspect and are continuing their investigation.
