If Mumbai cop Vasant Dhoble is the most feared name in the city's party circuit, the Pune police, too, are catching up in playing party poopers. Barely a fortnight after they busted an afternoon alcohol party with underage kids at a Mudhwa resort, the cops on Sunday cracked down on late night revelry at the Maya Lounge in Wagholi on the city's outskirts.But while Mumbai's ACP Vasant Dhoble may have got away with what the city termed as "moral policing", Pune's party goers are not willing to be at the receiving end of the police's "high-handedness".Two days after the police raided late night revelry at Maya Lounge in Wagholi, on the city's outskirts and detained and booked 300 people, a group of youngsters are speaking out against the authorities.On Wednesday, a group led by young activist and city-based entrepreneur Tehseen Poonawalla, will file a petition with the National Human Rights Commission and the National Commission for Women against the treatment meted out to the patrons of that lounge on Sunday."The Bombay Police Act clearly says that the police should adhere to discipline while conducting raids. Moreover, if the nightclub is violating rules, they should action against the owners or the management and not detain the patrons who are unaware of these violations," says Poonawalla who is leading the fight against the police action last weekend.His main grouse is the "abuse and humiliation" that the detained people were subjected to, particularly, the women. "A girl was mercilessly slapped by a male cop, which is not fair. Also, the police have no business to comment on a woman's clothes," he says.The group will file a petition detailing all these points.Police now claim that the lounge was operational - and was serving alcohol - beyond the permitted time limit, in violation of the excise laws. The police booked 300 young revellers including 110 women and arrested the party organisers at this lounge. Incidentally, the lounge is owned by the wife of a police officer, Rajneesh Nirmal, posted with the ATS.The party bust has, yet again, opened up the debate on freedom to have fun versus moral policing. Even as party goers - mainly IT professionals and students - accuse the police of "high-handedness" and "arbitrary" action, the police claimed the lounge was serving foreign liquor without the mandatory licenses.Superintendent of Police, Pune Rural, Manoj Lohiya defended the action saying that "the place was being run illegally."Revellers, who were detained for questioning, however, allege the police "manhandled" and "thrashed" them."Men and women were being slapped and hit for no reason," says a young IT professional who was present at the party.Even as the debate on moral policing by the authorities continues, the raid brings into focus the growing involvement of citizens in informing the police about parties. In the Mudhwa party bust, it was the parents of underage kids who approached the police for help when they couldn't stop their teenage children from going for the booze binge.Last Sunday, the leader of the National Students Union of India tipped off the police about Maya Lounge violating excise rules and serving alcohol to minors.In recent times, a number of Mumbai party goers have been travelling to Pune for late night revelry after the Mumbai police started cracking down on bars and lounges. But with the Pune cops fast catching up, party animals will now be forced to look for a new destination.
