I and my friends were celebrating send off party for one person at our flat which is in a residential area. We were dancing on music when all of a sudden police jumped in and wrote down names of everyone and took speakers as well. It was just a normal computer speakers. They took one person mobile as well. They inspected home also without any permission. We were not doing any illegal activities. So now they are asking for Rs.12000 fine which is too much.. to get those two items speaker and mobile back. Please provide your advice.

Dear Sir/madam
The police cannot enter your house, it was wrong on their part but maybe someone from your neighborhood must have complained regarding the volume or nuisance if any.
See, if the case was of larger amount than it was suggestable to approach the court but as it is of pity money, you should try to settle the case with police officials.
