Kasol rave: three FIRs, court probe, missing Israeli national

Kasol rave: three FIRs, court probe, missing Israeli national

In a small hill town in India called Kasol, some grown-ups held a big outdoor music party that lasted five days.

When police found out about it, they said a few people at the party had drugs and that drinks were being served without a licence.

The police filed three separate cases about what happened.

In one case, they found a small packet of a drug called cocaine in someone's bag.

In another case, they found very small amounts of other drugs, including Ecstasy and LSD.

Police also think a person from Israel may have helped organise the party, but he has gone back to his country and cannot be found.

The court asked whether any officials quietly allowed the party to happen, and two senior officials were moved to different jobs because of the investigation.

A bigger court, called the Supreme Court, has paused one order about the officials for now.

The police investigation is still going on to find out the whole story.
