Mujra party: Eight arrested GHMC employees suspended

Eight arrested employees of Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) were suspended after they were found allegedly indulging in obscene acts at a party. GHMC Commissioner Janardhan Reddy placed the eight staff members--three Tax Inspectors and five Bill Collectors --under suspension yesterday on charge of being involving in immoral acts after they were arrested from a farm house during a 'mujra party', a senior GHMC official said. Special Operation Team (SOT) of Cyberabad Police had earlier raided the farm house on Saturday night and arrested a total of 23 people including the GHMC employees and six women dancers for indulging in obscene dance, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police E Ramchandra Reddy said. A case was booked under relevant sections of IPC and AP Excise Act. All those arrested were subsequently granted bail.
