In a late-night operation, East Godavari police raided a rave party in Burugupudi village, under the jurisdiction of Korukonda mandal, and arrested 17 individuals, including five women. The raid took place at the Naga Sai function hall, where a gathering of fertilizer company dealers from across the state had assembled. Local sales executives were reportedly involved in arranging five women from different areas, including Kakinada, Rajahmundry, and Rampa Chodavaram, for the event.

Following a tip-off, the police, along with special party police, stormed the venue and arrested the participants. They also seized several bottles of liquor during the raid. The arrested men are set to be presented in court, while the women will be sent to a protective home. A case has been filed under the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act.
