Bhayandar : Secret cavities illegally constructed by bar owners to hide bar girls during raids will soon come under the scanner of the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC).

Close on the heels of a raid at Hotel Anna”s Palace in Bhayandar, SDPO Suhas Bawache raided Golden Star Bar near Shanti Park in Mira Road on Monday night and unearthed a similar narrow cavity created as a hideout in which 16 bar girls were found enclosed in inhuman conditions.

While 20 girls and 28 customers were booked under section 294 of the IPC, 13 bar staffers including the manager were also slapped with section 308 (culpable homicide), police said.

Not ruling out the possibility of bar girls suffocating to death after being confined in such cramped spaces, the police in an official letter to civic chief-Achyut Hange has asked the administration to inspect, identify and take corrective action against the accused.
