Gatari parties were in full swing at three bar-cum-restaurants in Tardeo area on Saturday evening, but simultaneous raids by the Crime Branch and local cops ended all the fun. The police have arrested 59 people, including customers and workers, from White House, Drum Beat and Indiana Bar, and rescued about 20 bar dancers. However, after being produced in court, they were granted bail on cash bonds.

According to sources, as many people in the city celebrate the day before the start of the month of Shravan by having non-vegetarian food and alcohol, the cops had kept an eye on a number of hotels, especially places where illegal activities have been reported in the past.
