The Noida Police has arrested 61 people, including 15 women, for allegedly partying at a farmhouse in violation of restrictions imposed to combat COVID-19, officials said on Monday.
The arrests were made following a raid on the property in Sector 135, under the Expressway police station limits, on Sunday night, they said.
"A pool party was being held at the Green Beauty farmhouse in the Yamuna floodplains area in Sector 135 in violation of the COVID-19 protocols. A total of 46 men and 15 women were arrested," a police spokesperson said.
"All accused were bathing in the swimming pool in violation of the pandemic protocols. They were without face masks and some of them were even spitting at various places in the open premises of the farmhouse," the spokesperson said.
