KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Two policemen - a lance corporal and an extra police constable - were among 14 individuals detained by the police after they were believed to have attended a wild party at a luxury condominium in Changkat Raja Chulan, here, on Saturday (Sept 18).

Kuala Lumpur Narcotics Criminal Investigation Department chief Asst Comm Sahar Abd Latif said the seven men and seven women aged between 20 and 40 who were arrested in the 9.30pm operation were also positive for ketamine.

He said police also found ketamine drugs weighing about 5.56g estimated to be worth RM834.

"The organiser of the wild party is a 39-year-old man, and visitors are invited to attend via phone call by the organiser at a luxury condominium rented for RM220 a day," he said in a statement on Monday (Sept 20).
