Bajrang Dal has threatened to ruin the New Year celebrations in Bengaluru this year. They have termed the celebrations as anti-Hindu and anti-Indian.

The group has issued a warning to party-goers in the city to maintain discipline and not party on the New Year's Eve. Women have also been threatened by the group.

"Liquor mafia is targeting Hindu girls and saying that girls get a free entry to the pubs with free beer. Drug mafia is working hard in India. Lakhs of youth will take drugs and wear inappropriate clothes during the New Year celebrations. It is not right. It is a conspiracy to defame Hindus," said Bajrang Dal.

"Alcohol should be banned in Karnataka on December 31. Hookah bars and pubs should also be banned. It's our demand. It will help reduce accidents and molestation cases. There are rules for Hindu festivals but such celebrations are also supported by the police. The DJs are allowed till 1am. What is the police doing? They are themselves breaking the law. Freedom shouldn't be misused. A girl roaming around under the influence of drugs is not allowed in our culture. The government should act against this. I request parents to keep a watch on their children," said Surya Narayan of Bajrang Dal.

However, the police have clarified that no one has approached them seeking a ban. 15,000 police personnel will be deployed in Bengaluru city ahead of the celebrations.

For the last few years, Bengaluru has been in news during New Year's celebrations. In 2016, there were allegations of mass molestation and in 2017 Sunny Leone's programme was cancelled.
