| DJ party in Nagpur |

Court of Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) on Monday granted two days police custody to hotel owner of Lagoon Blu. At the same time, the court did not find anything incriminating against other 13 persons nabbed including 10 college students and released them on personal surety of Rs 3,000 each.
On Sunday, cops had arrested 18 girls, 27 boys and seven staff members including hotel owners during a surprise raid against an unauthorised party and seized large quantity of liquor and many youngsters in an inebriated condition. But on Monday, only 14 persons were produced.
Cops produced the students and staff of the hotel in the court on Monday evening charging them with violating Prohibition act and sought police custody. However, failure of cops to conduct medical test of college students including minor to ascertain whether they had consumed liquor and whether it was served to them in violation of Prohibition Act, turned out to be major shortcoming. Even the so called breath analyser test turned out by a damp squib, since the equipment itself failed to come out with clinching result due to technical glitch, leaving cops red-faced. Adv Sagar Ashirgade, Adv Tushar Mandlekar appeared for college students and claimed that their clients were innocent and did not violate any law.
However, the court granted PCR to hotel owner Rajendrasingh Laxmansingh Saini, as he was charged with serving liquor to minors. Under the regulation, liquor can not be served without valid permit to anyone below the age of 25 years. The Crime Branch has decided to recommend cancellation of his licence for this major lapse.
Meanwhile, a delegation of BJP led by MLA Krishna Khopde and corporator Chetana Tank condenemened the DJ party and submitted memorandum to Police Inspector of Lakadganj police station. The corporator said that such parties would disturb peace in the area and cops should take stringent action against such party organiser.
Corporator Manisha Kole, Sangita Kalamkar, Anita Wankhede, Seema Dhomne, Bhupendra Chelani, Chandan Goswami, Ashok Savarkar, Bharat Yadav, Vimal Dhawade, Leela Bhoyar, Vandana Dhoble, Sapna Agrawal and others were part of the delegation.
