Team India’s star cricketer Virat Kohli seems to be in trouble. Bengaluru police have filed an FIR against Virat Kohli-owned One8 Commune Pub and several other establishments on MG Road for operating beyond the stipulated time. According to DCP Central, the pubs were found open till 1.30 am while their closing time is 1 am.
DCP Central has said, ‘We have taken action against the pub which was operating till 1.30 am. We had received a complaint about loud music being played. Pubs are allowed to remain open only till 1 am, not beyond that.’
The police took action after receiving complaints of loud music being played late at night in the area. The pubs booked for violating the rules also include One8 Commune Pub located near the Chinnaswamy Cricket Stadium. “We have also received a complaint about loud music being played at night. Investigation is on and further action will be taken accordingly,” the police officer said.
Virat Kohli’s restaurant has often been in the news for some reason or the other
Apart from Bangalore, Kohli’s one8 commune is also in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Kolkata. According to media reports, the Bangalore branch was started in December last year. It is located on the 6th floor of Ratnam Complex.
Last year, a controversy erupted after a man from Tamil Nadu shared a video on X about how he was denied entry into the Mumbai branch of the One8 commune for wearing a ‘veshti’ (a kind of lungi often worn by South Indian men). The man said the behaviour left him ‘disappointed’ and ‘sad’.
This restaurant chain owned by Virat-Kohli was also in the news last year when the Delhi High Court had stopped One8 Commune from playing songs which are copyrighted by Phonographic Performance Limited (PPL).
