This move follows a tragic incident on May 11, 2025, where a local youth, Mohammed Zameer, reportedly died due to alleged negligence at Chandra Wines, now operating as SV Wines.
Allegations of Negligence and Rising Public Nuisance
The delegation submitted a formal representation to the commissioner, citing multiple issues caused by the presence of these establishments. Apart from the recent fatal incident, residents complained of regular nuisance by intoxicated individuals, increasing traffic congestion, and frequent cases of trespassing into private property.
According to the colony association, the area’s peace has been continuously disrupted, and families feel unsafe—especially women and children—due to the rowdy behavior of individuals frequenting the wine shops.
