Punjab Police raided a private residence in Orchid Gulberg over the weekend, uncovering banned substances, alcohol, and sheesha at the lavish event.
Authorities confirmed that more than 50 people were detained during the operation, including popular TikToker Suzanne Khan and several influential attendees.
Officials said attempts were made overnight to pressure police for the release of detainees, but law enforcement stood firm against interference.
The recovered narcotics, alcohol, and equipment have been sent for forensic examination, and further investigations are currently underway by Punjab Police.
This raid has highlighted an increasing pattern of secret “wild” parties within the elite class, of Lahore often conducted behind closed doors with secrecy.

Police sources suggest these gatherings are part of an emerging subculture that challenges traditional boundaries and ignores public moral codes.
Officials believe such events are becoming more frequent across the wealthy circles of Lahore, raising concerns about substance abuse and law enforcement gaps.
Meanwhile, Karachi witnessed a separate controversy after a Facebook post promoted a secret LGBTQ-themed Halloween party called “Lesboween.”
The organizers kept the location of event hidden, inviting attendees privately through messages to avoid legal action or unwanted public exposure.
A viral poster showing two women kissing sparked outrage online, prompting strong criticism from users for defying Pakistan’s cultural and religious values.
The incident reignited national debate about LGBTQ visibility, morality, and underground parties, reflecting growing cultural friction in Pakistan’s conservative social landscape.
