Woman pub goers claim police target innocents

Cops misread trendy apparels and arrest them, say women The police targetted female customers inside by categorising them as ‘obscene dancers’.

Police raids at several pubs and bars in the city to keep in check obscene dances turn out to be a headache for genuine women customers as the police apprehend even those who wear trendy apparels. The police officials who raided pubs in the city were targeting female customers inside by categorising them as ‘obscene dancers’, said the women who were listed as accused by the cops in a recent raid on a city pub, adding that they could not be judged by their dressing. “Such ‘raids’ and checks make us think twice before planning for a pub outing,” they shared.

Several citizens and the genuine women customers who were ‘caught’ during the raid, questioned how the cops were expecting women to dress for pubs.

A 28-year-old IT employee from Gachibowli, who was apprehended during the raid on Monday night, said the women were dressed appropriate for a pub.

“I personally did not notice any ‘obscene behaviour or ‘indecency’ at the place. It all seemed like a regular pub crowd. The police officials showed up about 30 minutes before the place was closed down.
