Bangalore, Mar 8: As many as 110 persons, including 39 foreigners, were arrested early on Sunday from a village farmhouse in Ramanagara district, where liquor was being served without license, police said.
The arrested included 22 women, three from overseas, a senior police official said.
They are thought to be part of a social networking group coming from countries such as Yemen, Iran, Sudan, Germany and France.
"Mobile SMS and internet messages were used to assemble the crowd", police said. The key man behind organising the party, Adam, was being interrogated.
Police were categorical that drugs were not used at the party and would not call it a "rave party". But liquor was in "full-flow" and the music was at a high pitch with the group "dancing-away".
Ramanagara police raided the premises at Chunchanakuppe near Dodda Aaaladamara, some 25 kms from Bangalore, at around 4 a.m.
