Bengaluru, Jun 22: In a shocking incident which happened in front of the eyes of the city police commissioner, Alok Kumar, a couple engaged in celebrating the week end fell down from the upper floor of a pub and lost their lives. They have been identified as Veda and Pawan Attavar and the place where the accident took place is Ash Beer Pub. The accident happened on the night of Friday, June 21.

When the above two persons were having fun at the pub, police commissioner, Alok Kumar, had arrived at the pub for the night rounds. At that time, Veda and Pawan, who were in a drunk state, fought with each other on some issue and fell down together to their doom.

A number of citizens had recently brought to the notice of the court that several pubs are being run in plush localities of the city without permission, where DJ and sound systems are used with impunity. Many citizens had complained of noise pollution created by these pubs.

The state high court, which had taken up the petition, had expressed its resentment at the police inaction. It had directed the police to take strong steps against unauthorized pubs and to file a report by June 26.

In compliance of the high court directions, city police commissioner Alok Kumar, had raided unauthorized pubs on Friday night. Even as the raid was in progress, in a shocking development, the couple fell down from the upper floor of the pub.

A case relating to this incident was registered in Cubbon Park police station.
