Chandigarh Discotheque

For popular Bollywood singer Arijit Singh's performance in Chandigarh on Saturday, the best seats have been reserved for the city's top bureaucrats, among them Home Secretary Anurag Agarwal, on whom fell the onus of defending a new policy for bars and discotheques in the city drafted by the babus, and arguably, for the babus.

Chandigarh's new rules for bars and discotheques do not ban short skirts. But they do empower bureaucrats to cancel permits if the establishments are considered "indecent or of a scurrilous character" or "seditious and likely to excite political discontent."

Serving liquor beyond the permissible time has led to a Rs 20 lakh penalty on the discotheque of a leading five-star hotel chain in Chandigarh, an official said today.

He faked his rank and uniform, drove in a stolen SUV, frequented discotheques and night clubs and did everything to impress girls. While none of this was part of his official duty, a disco-loving assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of Punjab police is now cooling his heels in the lock-up.

A disco-loving Chandigarh police officer who got embroiled in a row after misbehaving with two young women at a discotheque here has been suspended from his post, police said on Thursday.
