Senior inspector of Sahar police station S Mane said, “A raid was conducted around 2.30 am at the Dragonfly club near Mumbai airport. We found that the guests and those operating the club were not following measures like wearing masks or observing social distancing. Following this, we arrested 34 persons that included seven staff members.”

The officer confirmed that they arrested Raina and Randhawa under sectoins 188 (disobedience to order duty promulgated by public servant), 269 ( acts in a way that could spread an infection) among others.
