A late night wedding reception at Bandlaguda that hosted a belly dance performance has resulted in the arrest of nine people, including the bridegroom. The Chandrayangutta police took nine people into custody on Tuesday for obscenity and for not taking prior permission; three others are absconding.
Police arrested bridgegroom Yahya Bin Salam Bahamed, 37, a businessman and realtor from Barkas, his relative Abdullah Bin Mohammed Ilhej Bahamed, 42, from Barkas, Russian Ramesh Babu alias Somisetty Ramesh Babu, 50, the broker who supplied Russian dancers, Md Hamid, 53, event manager who organised the function, Jogi
Venkatesh, 30, who supplied about 300 women for serving food at the function, Md Waseemuddin, 37, owner of Ahmed Sound System company that supplied music system, Syed Firasat Ali, 40, a businessman from Fateh Darwaza, Zahuruddin Mohammed Tahir, 59, manager of Noori Place Function Hall, and Md Amjad, 49, a private employee from Kishan Bagh. Several prominent politicians attended the function during the intervening night of July 21 and 22. However, after the VIPs left the place, the Russians were called to perform belly dance.
The matter came to light after men present there recorded the six songs and videos performed by the dancers which went viral on social media. Police registered a criminal case against the accused under various sections of the IPC and booked the accused including the bridegroom under section 370 (buying or displaying any person as a slave) of the IPC.
They were later produced before the court and sent to Chanchalguda prison, police said.
