Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) wants action against the Islamabad administration’s assistant commissioner (AC), on whose orders a raid was conducted at a dance party, held at a hotel owned by the SCBA, a few weeks back.

The SCBA issued a statement on Saturday which called this raid on the Grand Ambassador Hotel as a shameless act. The bar said the raid was orchestrated as the AC had a grudge against the SCBA. The bar also demanded the FIR be quashed.

Fifty people were arrested from the party at the Grand Ambassador Hotel in G-5 in the wee hours of July 2.

The attendees were dancing and playing music on loudspeakers, and smoking tobacco and sheesha. Police had rounded up 34 men and 16 women for ‘obscene acts and songs’, and for violating the amplifier and the tobacco control laws. However, all the suspects were released a few hours later.
