"The inquiry will be headed by SSB assistant commissioner Feroz Patel. I have asked for the inquiry report to be submitted within three days," said joint commissioner of police (crime) Himanshu Roy.
According to the Ellora bar management, 10 to 12 SSB officers reached the establishment around 8.45pm. There were a dozen male staffers, 24 bar girls and around 21 customers at the bar at that time. "The police team vandalized furniture and roughed up the bar's customers and staffers, including the bar girls," said Pravin Agrawal, who is related to Ellora's owner and helps run the establishment.
"Within minutes of the raid's start, one of the bar girls, Shaba Khan, passed out. Some staffers sprinkled water on her, but the SSB did not help revive her. When she did not respond, Khan was taken to a local physician who declared her dead—from cardiac arrest," added Agrawal.
The bar management alleged that SSB officers remained at the establishment until 8.30am on Sunday. "They seized our computer's external hard disk as well as the CCTV footage. We will submit a letter to the police commissioner stating that Shaba died because of the panic created by the SSB team. Shaba also sustained a contusion on her head," Agarwal claimed.
SSB officials denied the bar management's charges. "Our officers were conducting a general check, since it was a Saturday, and not a raid. The SSB team asked the management to produce relevant paperwork. While this was going on, Shaba Khan passed out at 8.57pm. No staff member or customer was manhandled. Doctors later declared Khan dead. The bar management was booked under section 33 (w) of the Bombay Police Act for playing music without a licence," said a senior SSB officer.
The officer added: "In its records the bar had shown only five female waitresses, though it had employed 24, including Shaba. The management could not explain what 24 waitresses were doing on the premises. They did not have a performance licence for an orchestra. We have seized their music system."
