Pune bar case: Police detain two people from Mumbai

The Hindu  

The Pune police on Tuesday detained two people from Mumbai accused of allegedly consuming drugs at a city-based pub even as Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reiterated his commitment to “make the city drug-free”, stating that he had directed the police to crack down and bulldoze illicit pubs and hotels. Earlier, following a viral video clip from a bar on Pune’s Fergusson College Road called Liquid Leisure Lounge or ‘L3’, the police arrested eight people including an event organiser, while four police personnel were suspended for negligence after the bar was found to be operating well beyond the permissible time limit of 1.30 a.m. Additionally, the Maharashtra excise department has suspended two of its inspector-rank officers for alleged dereliction of duty. Speaking to reporters today evening, CM Eknath Shinde said he had ordered the Pune Police Commissioner to take stern action to make the city drug-free. Shinde Sena leader Sanjay Shirsat said the CM’s action ordering outright demolition of pubs and bars “was a bold one”, the rival Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut alleged that Pune and Nashik had been “overwhelmed by drug culture” and “was going the way of Punjab”.
