Thiruvananthapuram: Excise officials have decided to conduct an extensive probe into a rave party held at Poovar resort in Thiruvananthapuram. The special team led by Thiruvananthapuram Assistant Excise Commissioner S Vinod Kumar will reportedly take charge of the investigation.
The team will examine the call records of the accused. Earlier, the excise had identified that a Bengaluru resident arranged the drugs including MDMA used in the party.
