A 32-year-old navy staffer, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, created chaos inside a Grant Road bar during an ongoing police raid late on Friday night (October 17). The accused, identified as Abhishek Kumar Singh, allegedly assaulted police officers who were carrying out a lawful raid.
According to DB Marg police, the incident occurred around 11.10 pm on October 17 at Senorita Bar and Restaurant, in Grant Road East. A police team led by Sub-Inspector Gaurav Tanwar, along with complainant PSI Vinod Dadasaheb Dhore, and two witnesses, was conducting a raid at the bar when the accused forcefully entered the premises despite being informed that police action was in progress.
Even after being warned by the bar manager and police officers to leave, Singh allegedly refused. He argued with the officers, pushed PSI Tanwar in the chest with his elbow, abused him verbally, and tore the complainant’s shirt pocket. A case was registered on Saturday against Singh. The accused resides in Navy Nagar, Colaba, and is employed with the Indian Navy in a technical post, confirmed SPI Nitin Dalvi.
