HYDERABAD: The city task force sleuths detained 21 women for obscene activities, and eight staff members including manager and deputy manger of Lisbon Pub in Punjagutta for violations late on Wednesday night. The police raided the pub after receiving a tip-off that skimpily clad women were performing obscene dances at the club.

CP warns pubs, hotels not to allow illegal activities
Meanwhile, Hyderabad police commissioner on Thursday conducted a meeting with the owners of pubs and star hotels asking them not to indulge in illegal activities in view of the New year celebrations.
The managements should apply with the Commissioner of Police, Hyderabad for permission to hold New Year parties. The conditions are that the pubs should install CCTVs at the entry and exit points. CCTV cameras should also be installed with recording facility in parking areas.
