Task Force Raids Pub in Hyderabad’s Banjara Hills Over Unsocial Activities

In a bold move to curb illegal activities in Hyderabad’s nightlife, the Task Force Police conducted a midnight raid on a popular pub in Banjara Hills, following a tip-off about unsocial activities. The police swooped down on Tales Over Spirit pub, uncovering a host of violations that breached local laws and regulations.

The raid, carried out at the heart of Hyderabad’s upscale entertainment district, was part of a broader crackdown on pubs that have allegedly become hubs for drug use and other illegal activities under the guise of entertainment. The police have been ramping up efforts to curtail such practices, particularly focusing on where drugs are sourced and who is purchasing them.

During the raid, the police discovered that the pub was hosting obscene dances performed by 40 young women, hired from various states, in an attempt to lure customers. These performances were being conducted in violation of the rules governing pub operations. Authorities immediately took action, and a case has been registered against the pub by Banjara Hills police.

At the time of the raid, 140 young men and women were found inside the pub. All of them were detained and taken to the local police station for further questioning. Notices were issued to each individual, and the police have begun collecting their details. The young women involved in the performances are set to be shifted to a women’s rehabilitation center.

The Task Force is also investigating reports that prohibited drugs were being used within the premises. Authorities have not yet confirmed these allegations but are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.

This raid is part of a larger operation by Narcotics and Excise officials, who have intensified their efforts in the past month, particularly during weekend parties. Over 75 pubs in Hyderabad have been raided, with many individuals testing positive for drugs. The recent discovery of minors using fake Aadhaar cards to gain entry into pubs has also prompted the authorities to crack down harder on such establishments.

As the investigation unfolds, the Hyderabad police are determined to identify and dismantle the networks responsible for illegal activities in the city’s pubs. By strengthening security measures and monitoring, they aim to keep a check on the nightlife scene, ensuring it remains safe and law-abiding.
