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.
