The manager of One8 Commune-Bengaluru, co-owned by Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli, faces legal action following allegations of operating beyond the permissible hours, according to a report in News18.
According to an FIR filed at the Cubbon Park Police Station in Bengaluru, the establishment was found serving customers at 1:20 am, violating the mandated closing time of 1 am on July 6, reported News18.
The incident came to light when a sub-inspector, conducting night patrols, responded to reports and confirmed the activity. Authorities have reportedly taken similar action against three other pubs in the area, it added.
One8 Commune, a project of Virat Kohli, includes locations in Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, and other major cities. The Bengaluru outlet was launched in December last year. It is located near the M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Kasturaba Road, on the sixth floor of Ratnam's Complex.
