Bengaluru: Acting on a tip-off that a pub located at Bengaluru’s Indiranagar was allegedly forcing its women employees to perform obscene acts for the pub customers, the city police, on Saturday night raided the premises and rescued 32 women.
Six persons, including the manager of the Mango Tree Restorbar were arrested during the raid.
As per the reports the rescued women, mostly hailing from West Bengal and other north Indian states were being forced to perform dances wearing skimpy clothes for the pub’s customers in a bid to keep them enticed.
