What's worse, he invited several people to the party held outside his quarter which is located close to the police station. Videos of the birthday party, which started around noon and continued till evening, went viral on social media, even as the party was in progress on Thursday.

Besides the family members, several relatives and a handful of local politicians were in attendance. Further, it was found that there were arrangements for food and alcohol for the guests.
