NEW DELHI: A row erupted in Pune after a pub reportedly sent condoms and oral rehydration sachets to guests invited to their New Year's Eve party on December 31.
According to news agency PTI, the incident prompted the Maharashtra Pradesh Youth Congress to file a complaint with Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, demanding strict action against the pub's management after visuals of the unusual invitation, featuring condoms and ORS sachets, went viral on social media.
"We are not against pubs and nightlife. However, the marketing strategy to attract youngsters is against the traditions of Pune city. We demand strict action by police against the pub management," stated Akshay Jain, a member of Maharashtra Pradesh Youth Congress in a statement on Monday.
The incident has led to the police recording statements from the invitees.
A senior police official had earlier acknowledged receiving the complaint on Sunday. "We have recorded statements of several invitees attending the event," he added.
