Three arrested for organising Garba night in Mumbai

MUMBAI: The Santacruz police arrested three persons – the hall owner and organisers – for allegedly holding a Navratri dance event at a college in the city on Sunday night.
The police allowed the guests to leave with warnings, but the organisers were arrested, and later released on bail.
Police said they were on a regular night patrolling duty when they saw cars parked near SNDT College.
“When we went inside the college to enquire, we found a Garba party in progress in the college hall. More than 100 people were dancing, and all of them were without masks, violating the Covid norms,” said the police.
The hall owner, Gaurav Pokharlal, and organisers, Manish Bafna and Vikas Mehta, were booked under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and Covid regulations.
