Cubbon Park Police book FIR against bars, including One8 Commune co-owned by Virat Kohli, for operating beyond hours.
The Cubbon Park Police booked an FIR against three bars and resturants, including One8 Commune co-owned by Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, for allegedly operating beyond permissible hours.
Based on a tip-off, a team of police led by PSI Ashok Thakur raided the One8 Commune pub, situated at the Toniq building on Queen’s Circle near M.G. Road in Bengaluru around 2 a.m. on Saturday and found it fully operational.
The manager of the pub has been booked under the Karnataka Police Act.
Similar search operations led to two more establishments — Empire Restaurant on Church Street and Pangeo Pub on Bridge Road — being booked for violating stipulated operating time.
“We have booked around 3-4 pubs for running late till 1:30 am last night. We received complaints of loud music being played. Pubs were allowed to remain open only till 1 am and not beyond that,” DCP Central has said, according to ANI.
Restaurants and pubs in Bengaluru can only serve customers until 1 a.m., beyond which they are supposed to close down operations.
The Congress government including controversial farm legislations that had been brought in and later withdrawn by the BJP-led government at the Centre as the reference points for the Karnataka Agriculture Prices Commission (KAPC) has ruffled the feathers of farmers’ leaders and agricultural economists who had expressed their ideological support to the Congress.
