Dhaka, Oct. 21 -- Residents of a police housing complex in Dhaka's Khilkhet had grown weary of loud music, dancing and alleged drug use at a rented house owned by Additional Deputy Inspector General Abdullah Al Zahir.

Parties reportedly took place there at least 20 days a month, prompting repeated complaints from neighbours.

Police raided the house on Monday, detaining 85 people who received jail terms and fines.

Alcohol, yaba, equipment for consuming it, a small quantity of kush and condoms were recovered, Dhaka Metropolitan Police Uttara Division Deputy Commissioner Ilias Kabir said.

Ilias said officers ordered the raid based on confidential information. Police found university students and bankers, including 26 young women.
