350 students detained for organising Friendship Day party
About 350 students of the Symbiosis Institute were detained by the police for allegedly organising a “friendship day” party without “proper permission” at a farm house in nearby Theur, the police said here on Monday.
Some of the students, including women, had consumed alcohol at the party, which was held last night, they said, adding the detained students are being subjected to a medical test to determine alcohol level in blood under provisions of Bombay Prohibition Act.
When contacted, Dr Vidya Yeravadekar, director of the Institute told PTI that the students had sought permission of hostel authorities for a “late out” but had failed to return within the time limit prescribed by the institute authorities.
It was not a “rave” party at which narcotic drugs are consumed, the police said. According to Yeravadekar, the girls detained at the farm house, were released by the police.
The students involved are doing their MBA at the Symbiosis Management Institute. An internal enquiry would be set up to probe the incident, Yeravadekar added.
