A 28-year-old law student died after collapsing during a techno music concert at Mumbai's NSCI Dome on Saturday evening.
While investigators suspect excessive alcohol consumption may have contributed to the incident, police have not ruled out a possible drug angle.
At the same concert, a 31-year-old woman reportedly suffered health complications after consuming alcohol and energy drinks.
The incident comes barely two months after two management students allegedly died following a suspected drug overdose at a techno music concert organised at the NESCO Exhibition Centre in Goregaon.
In that case, Vanrai Police arrested 10 people, including several management students from a reputed South Mumbai college, along with alleged drug peddlers from Kalyan who were accused of supplying ecstasy tablets at the event.
