The arrests were made after a raid at Dragonfly pub for keeping the establishment open beyond the permissible time limit and not following the newly introduced norms. On Monday, Maharashtra government had declared a night curfew in municipal corporation areas as a precautionary step amid growing concerns over a new coronavirus variant spreading in Britain apart from putting restrictions on flight movements.

Troubled times for Suresh Raina:

The latest development comes just a couple of months after Suresh Raina faced the heat for pulling out of IPL 2020. Despite going to UAE with Chennai Super Kings, he returned home before the start of IPL, citing personal reasons. Reports at that time suggested that the batsman was unhappy with the room he was provided although Raina denied the reports.

BCCI boss N Srinivasan had also slammed Raina for the incident. At present, he is gearing up to make a return to action through the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, scheduled to start next month. The southpaw has not played a competitive game since the final of IPL 2019 in May last year.
