Meanwhile, suspecting the role of Director of the restaurant, cops have directed closure of the hotel till further orders. According to reports, a Saturday night party was organised at Dabo Restaurant. People from posh localities thronged the venue which is located just opposite Sonegaon Police Station on Wardha Road.
During the revelry, the intoxicated accused Ajju alias Ajay Thakur, Ranveer Thakur and Anna Thakur went on a rampage at Dabo. They thrashed a couple and also threatened to open fire. While patrons managed to run for their life, Sonegaon Police were inactive. Earlier a Non-cognizable offence was registered in this connection.

According to media reports, the accused have “connections” not only with police but also with a big political leader. The accused come to know actions of the police in advance and go absconding. The accused Ajju has a dhaba in Koradi. His relatives are in the police. Anna Thakur is involved in criminal activities in Koradi. According to reports, a youth from a rural area has a licensed mauser gun and is also involved in this racket. This youth is notorious in blackmailing activities.
