KUALA LUMPUR: A hidden Bollywood club operating illegally in Kompleks Wilayah, Bukit Bintang was shut down after a raid by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) on Saturday (May 8).
DBKL said it acted on a public tip-off and found that patrons used the emergency entrance behind the premises to avoid detection.
“The front door of the premises had two layers, including a thicker outer one which served as a soundproof door so that the loud music could not be heard from outside.
“Four Bangladeshi women who were working as waitresses as well as dancers were within the premises during the raid, ” DBKL said Sunday (May 9).
The raiding team also found laptops, mixers and microphones at the scene, which were all confiscated.
The enforcement action was conducted under Section 4(1)(a) and Seksyen 4(1)(b) of the Entertainment (Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur) Act 1992 as well as Food Placement Licensing (WPKL) 2016 bylaws, which can carry a fine of up to RM50,000 and RM2,000, respectively.
It said DBKL will continue to carry out operations to stem illegal activities from time to time.
