Pune, Aug 28: The Mumbai-based 22 Customs
officials and 11 bar girls, arrested at Khandala hill station,
were released on bail by a court here, officials said on Thursday.
They were produced in a court at Wadgaon Maval near
here after their overnight arrest.
The officers and the girls had been picked up by
police in a raid when they allegedly indulged in obscenities
at a resort, Taj Cottage, and danced in an inebriated state to
high pitch of music late in the night.
Wads of currency notes were seen being hurled at the
bar girls who gyrated to the beat of drum in gay abandon,
police sources said.
Around 40 persons, including the drivers of the
vehicles who came from Mumbai and three managers of the party
too were arrested by police in the swoop.
