“Party (Nahin) Chalegi Till Six In The Morning! A raid was conducted at a nightclub in Andheri at around 3 am, for flouting COVID prevention norms Action has been initiated against 34 people, out of which 19 were from Delhi & Punjab, including some celebrities #NewNormal,” the tweet read.

Suresh Raina, meanwhile, isn’t having a good time off the field it seems. He was involved in a controversy after hastily leaving UAE ahead of the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well. Reports had surfaced that all is not well between him and the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) management and it remains to be seen if he plays for the franchise again.
