Neighbours Ranu Pramanik and her son objected to the use of the music system on the second floor of the house at Gariahat Road till Friday-Saturday midnight.
However, both of them were physically assaulted by the party organisers.
"On getting this information police reached the spot and they physically assaulted the duty officer also."
The accused including three women were booked under section 341 of IPC, punishment for wrongful restraint; section 323, punishment for voluntarily causing hurt; section 332, voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty; and section 506, punishment for criminal intimidation.
The police also registered a suo moto complaint under a number of sections of IPC.
