Navi Mumbai: In the early hours of Sunday morning, shocking footage from a spy camera revealed blatant violations of bar regulations at Red Rose Bar & Resto in Nerul. The incident, recorded around 1:20 a.m., shows bar girls performing dance routines as customers showered them with cash, an act strictly prohibited under Maharashtra’s licensing and entertainment laws.
According to the video evidence, the establishment was operating well past permissible hours, raising concerns about lax enforcement of closing time regulations. Authorities have repeatedly stated that dance performances involving cash showers are illegal, yet the footage suggests such activities continue to flourish behind closed doors.
