A secret door of dance bar

After several unsuccessful raids, police team finds secret door to hidden section of a dance bar only to be confronted by ferocious guard dogs, suicidal bar dancers

What should have been a routine raid for an experienced posse of police personnel, turned out to be a scene from a James Bond flick.

The police were watching Duru Bar, a notorious bar in the Ulhasnagar area, for sometime. Each time they conducted a raid, they came up with nothing to present in court.

Each time the bar was raided, the dancers used the secret passage behind an unused refrigerator to disappear within seconds
On entering the secret tunnel and ascending the stairs to the terrace, the police team was attacked by two ferocious Dobermans

Cornered on the terrace, the dancers were prepared to jump off rather than get arrested.

After seven unsuccessful raids by Smita Pathak, ACP, Ambernath division, at the bar over the past three months, and two futile raids by senior inspector Deepak Kurulkar during the same period, Duru bar continued business since no incriminating evidence could be found to press charges.
Following the raids, the bar owner filed a writ petition in the Bombay High Court alleging police harassment and stating that the only entertainment at the Duru bar was an orchestra and not dance bar as suspected.
When questioned, inspector Kurulkar informed the court that he had raided Duru Bar on orders from Police Commissioner SPS Yadav.
The case was still unsolved and Commissioner Yadav decided to use the oldest trick in the book he used an informer, posing as a client, all the while passing on vital information of how the bar owners and his clients were evading the dragnet.
Acting on information that several policemen, politicians and bookies were being entertained by bar dancers while gambling, the police team decided to conduct the raid.
Tip-off and raid
Thane police commissioner SPS Yadav and his experienced team had conducted several raids in the past; however, nothing could have prepared them for what happened next.
According to one officer, the drama unfolded around midnight when the squad headed by Assistant Commissioner of Police VM Rathod raided the bar, but unknown to them, someone had tipped off the bar workers about the raid.
Drama begins
Their initial search within the bar came up with nothing incriminating; however the informer posing as a client, confirmed the presence of a large number of clients of questionable character.
After a thorough search, the police team discovered a secret doorway concealed behind an unused refrigerator that led through a wall, which then led to a staircase.
It was through this door that the bar girls had managed to slip away seconds before the raid began.

Woof alert
The police team rushed to the terrace and was soon halted in its tracks by two menacing Dobermans. One team member was almost mauled by the ferocious dogs.
The drama continued after the cops managed to subdue the dogs and they realised, to their horror, that five bar dancers were balanced precariously on the fourth storey terrace wall and were threatening to jump off if attempts were made to arrest them.
After much convincing, Rathod and his men managed to get the dancers to come down from their dangerous perch.
During the round up after the raid, 27 bar girls and 72 clients were arrested. "We have arrested 27 bar girls and several customers including the bar manager," said Rathod.
"Yes, it is true that the police team encountered fierce dogs on the terrace," he added.

Adoption centres say increasing number of unwed couples bringing in babies

If what adoption centres say is anything to go by, the city is fast becoming a place where teenage pregnancies are on the rise.

Adoption centres in the city say that they have had cases of teenagers including college students in live-in relationships approaching them with unwanted love children. At Society of Friends of Sassoon General Hospital (SOFOSH) there have been three to four such cases in the 3-6 months Three months ago, an engineering college couple approached them with their child.

"It is sad and shocking but it is true that such cases have happened recently. It is a worrying scenario because these students are educated, have access to information and also resources like chemists and doctors to terminate unwanted pregnancies. Yet there have been cases, where they had reached a stage when the pregnancy could not be terminated and they did not want the child," said Madhuri Abhyankar, director of SOFOSH.

Live-in couples

She gave the example of a recent case where a young couple from a popular engineering college came to the centre and said that they wanted to put their unborn child up for adoption. The couple was in a live-in relationship and did not want to inform their parents or get married. In another case, a medical student couple was in a live-in relationship. The couple, which is expected to get medical degrees next year, gave up the child for adoption immediately the day after he was born.

Abhyankar said that couples often come to them after the fifth month of pregnancy, after which termination becomes risky. "First we counsel them to confide in their parents and get married. However because of certain societal pressures if they cannot do so then we help them get enrolled in a hospital to have the childbirth as they find it difficult to do so. As soon as the baby is born, it is taken into our care. Although we have been requesting the birth mothers to come and at least breast feed their child," said Abhyankar.

Counselling

Counsellors at adoption centres too have had a few stray cases. At Koregaon Park's Bhartiya Samaj Seva Kendra too, there have been cases of college students coming to them with problems of unwanted pregnancies. "It is shocking because these kids are so young. But the centre has been trying to help them out. Even the couples go through an emotionally tough time giving up their children at such a young age," said a volunteer.

Gynaecologists agree that unwanted teenage pregnancies are on the rise in the city.

"The main problem is that youngsters depend on the morning-after pill which can have its own failure rate.

There have been cases of youngsters coming to us at a late stage of pregnancy stating that despite having the emergency pill they became pregnant. And because they are so young, they keep quiet until it is too late as they feel shy to consult doctors," said gynaecologist Dr Uma Wankhede.

Psychiatrist Dr Jyoti Shetty said part of the problem is lack of sex education at a young stage of life.

"Teenagers need to be taught basic sex education at school level itself so that youngsters are aware of contraception and even remedies if unwanted pregnancy occurs. Rather than being judgemental, parents should have open discussions and connect with their children. If such a situation arises, kids can confide in them. And most important if kids are living away from home, parents should know what they are up to and be in touch with them," she said.
