The Bengaluru City Police conducted surprise inspections across several bars and restaurants in the city’s West Zone, uncovering a range of serious violations. Acting on a tip-off, 11 special police teams were mobilized to conduct checks in areas falling under multiple police stations.

During the operation, 19 establishments were found flouting various rules, including:

  • Illegal employment practices, with women staff allegedly dressed provocatively and engaging with customers inappropriately
  • Lack of designated female security personnel
  • Unhygienic kitchen conditions
  • Absence of smoking zones
  • Operation beyond licensed hours
  • Non-compliance with COTPA regulations

Customers violating tobacco laws were fined on the spot. The police confirmed that the scope of violations extended beyond policing issues and included breaches related to health and excise regulations.

Reports have been forwarded to the respective departments for further investigation and action. Officials emphasized that continued surveillance of such establishments will be undertaken, and repeat offenders risk license cancellation.

The Bengaluru Police urged citizens to report any such illegal activities or inconveniences through Namma 112, assuring that the identity of informants would be protected.
