PUNE MIRROR TEAM
Nearly two dozen highranking customs officials from Mumbai were allegedly found watching some former bar dancers, in various stages of undress, gyrating to popular Bollywood numbers when Pune police raided a bungalow in Khandala following a tip-off about obscene goings-on at a party. All the officials were allegedly drunk and some were watching a blue film on a laptop.
The laptop had some blue films on its hard disk. The police also found a few DVDs of porn films, cash amounting to Rs 1.09 lakh, a laptop and several bottles of foreign liquor. Police arrested the officials, the women, four party organisers, two DJs, the bungalow’s caretaker and a driver.

THE PARTY PLAN
According to the police, all the officials were on night duty at Sahar international airport on Monday night. Apparently, customs officials get two days off after working a night shift. In this case, the 22 officials allegedly decided to party at Khandala on their off days.The officials got in touch with Hussain alias Antariksha, a party organiser from Mumbai, and told him to organise a party for them. Antariksha allegedly booked five bedrooms in the bungalow, named Taj House, and also hired the former bar dancers for two days by paying Rs 20,000 to Sonu Bisvas Chaudhari, 21, a resident of Asmita building at Malad (west), and her husband, Raju alias Bisvas Bharundeo Chaudhari, 36.
On Tuesday evening, the customs officials, party organisers and the former bar dancers set out for the venue in a few hired vehicles.
THE VENUE
Their destination was Taj House, which is a spacious nine-bedroom bungalow located behind Hotel Fariyas. Police say it belongs to Mohammed Yusuf, a garment vendor from Mumbai, who purchased it a year ago. Yunus had appointed Mohammed Shafiali Khan, 34, a resident of Bangarwadi near Lonavala, to take care of the bungalow.According to the police, the officials, party organisers and women reached the bungalow around 5 pm. The party began soon after that.
POLICE TIPPED OFF
Late on Tuesday night, inspector Bhausaheb Andhalkar, who was involved in busting a rave party at Donje village at the foothills of Sinhagad in March 2007, received a tip-off about the goings-on at Taj house.“I immediately alerted district superintendent of police Ravindra Kadam who asked me to raid the place with help from policemen from the local crime branch, Lonavala city police and Lonavala rural police. The raid was actually carried out by inspector Sudam Darekar and Anil Patil,” Andhalkar told Pune Mirror.
One of the policemen who was in the team that raided the bungalow, says, “The party was in full swing when we reached Taj House around midnight. Some girls were dancing topless to the tune of Bollywood songs. A blue film was being played on the laptop. All the customs officials were drunk. We searched the entire bungalow. After everybody present in the bungalow had been accounted for, they were all taken to a hospital at Kanhe Phata for a medical examination.”
A case has been registered at Lonavala city police station. They have been slapped with charges under Sections 294 and 129 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 33 (1), (2), 33 (W), 110 and 112 of the Bombay Police Act.
