The Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) has issued a notice to One8 Commune, a bar and restaurant co-owned by cricketer Virat Kohli, for failing to comply with fire safety regulations.
According to reports, the restaurant, located on the sixth floor of Ratnams Complex near MG Road in the heart of the city, was allegedly operating without the required fire safety measures and without a fire department clearance certificate. The BBMP’s notice follows a complaint by social activists Kunigal Narasimhamurthy and HM Venkatesh, prompting the Shantinagar BBMP officials to intervene.
This comes after the establishment ignored a previous notice, prompting BBMP officials to issue a warning of legal consequences if a response is not received within seven days.
This is not the first time the establishment has faced issues. An FIR was previously registered at the Cubbon Park Police Station after the restaurant was found operating beyond permitted hours during a police night patrol.
