“He said that he wasn’t aware of the celebration and it was a surprise. But Parmar could have refused to attend the gathering. He was seen celebrating his birthday and cutting the cake. We arrested him and seven others on Wednesday,” said police inspector R I Jadeja. The cops learned about the celebration after Parmar’s photos were shared on social media.
