A BJP worker and Mumbai resident Manish Bhanushali told NDTV that he received a "tip off" from a friend of his friends which he further passed on to the NCB on the rave party that took place on a cruise ship in Mumbai. The NCP's Nawab Malik has questioned why Bhanushali, a BJP worker, was involved in the raid and seen escorting the accused inside the NCB office in the October 2 raids.
