Bollywood-themed nightclub in KL mall raided
KUALA LUMPUR: A Bollywood-themed nightclub located in a run-down shopping mall along Jalan Munshi Abdullah was raided by police earlier today. Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa said the raid, conducted by the Crime Investigation Division (D7) from the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters, involved six entertainment premises within the same building, where 95 individuals were inspected. Eight people were arrested for offences under Section 6(1)(c) of the Immigration Act 1959/63 for not possessing valid documents, and Regulation 39(b) of the Immigration Regulations 1963 for working without a permit. "The arrests involved seven men - three Bangladeshis, three Indians, and one Pakistani – as well as one Indonesian woman. "All those arrested, aged between 28 and 43, were taken to the Dang Wangi district police headquarters for further action," he said. Harian Metro, which followed the raid codenamed Op Noda at 2am, found at least one Bollywood-style entertainment venue on each floor of the six-storey building. The nightclub is believed to be a popular spot among tourists, locals, and workers from Bangladesh and India. The premises employed women from Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan as dancers dressed in saree to attract customers. Malaysian women were also employed, reportedly earning RM200 per night.
