Nagpur :- In a shocking incident, seminude dance was organised in which money was also showered during a corporate event at the five star hotel Le Meridien on Wardha Road on Sunday night. The incident has sent shock waves in the hotel and restaurant circles.
The videos from the event, currently in possession of Media, shows inebriated people dancing to the tune of Bollywood songs while the seminude performers are dancing on the stage.
The video also shows many of the people from the crowd holding currency notes in their hands and some notes lying on the floor.
According to sources, a dealers’ meet was organized by a major solar instruments manufacturing company. Several dealers from Nagpur had participated in the event. After the regular event, dance performances of around 8 to 10 girls from out of state were held. The drunk crowd was also dancing to the tune of songs. In the video, the girls can be seen dancing obscenely to please the crowd.
It is not the first time that seminude dances have been organized in the city. Earlier such incidents had happened outside the city at resorts and those were organized mostly by criminals. However, this is probably the first time that such an incident was organized at a posh hotel.
Media spoke with Le Meridien operations manager Jitendra Sharma, who said that nothing unusual had taken place at the event. “Dances happen all the time whether it is a wedding or a corporate event. We have all the necessary permissions and licenses. Without them, we do not organize any event,” he said.
Sharma also added that they had only provided the music while the performers were hired by the organizers. “These performers are regulars of the organizers. They have events every few months. Even during Sangeet of weddings, which is a family event, relatives shower money on dancing relatives,” he said.
However, commissioner of police Amitesh Kumar in April this year had come up with guidelines for pubs, restaurants and hotels. The guidelines clearly mention that if outside performers are coming for an event prior permission of the commissioner office should be taken.
