This is actually a fairly harsh clampdown as the cops have been using urine tests and checking up on Interpol lists, bear in mind that India’s law enforcement doesn’t have as much resources as a Western force and that these appear to be middle class youths as well being busted (perhaps as an example to frighten others?)
IMO they are worried about Indian youths partying too hard and this affecting their work performance in the call centres as this was one of the justifications used by Western companies for outsourcing a few years back…

The 18 accused and two women in the Gorai rave party case were granted bail of Rs15,000 each by a sessions court on Wednesday and have been asked to present themselves for interrogation at the ATS office in Nagpada for interrogation twice a month.
The accused, between 18 and 27 years, were medically examined at the Nagpada police hospital on September 24 and their blood and urine samples proved that they had consumed Charas.
They were arrested on October 22 and remanded in police custody till October 25 by a magistrate’s court the next day. The youngsters were mostly call centre employees, event managers and recording artists.
Earlier, 20 others who were allegedly the main organisers of the rave party were granted bail on October 6. One Mansoor Kara, who possessed LSD was not granted bail as it was a non-bailable offence. He is also an Interpol accused in cases of drug peddling.
Eighty people and 13 drug peddlers were detained after the Anti-Narcotics Cell (ANC) of the ATS raided a farm house on Gorai Road in Borivali on September 24.
