When the video started to circulate on social media a few days ago, Nauchandi police raided and locked the cafe but did not take any further action against the accused. After an uproar over social media, ADG Zone and IG Range took cognizance of the video and instructed Nauchandi police to take further action. A case was then filed against the cafe owner Sumit Chaudhary and manager Avinash. SP City Dr Akhilesh Narayan Singh said in a statement that police will take action against other hookah bars as well.
