# Six Minors Held for Drinking at Jubilee Hills Pub 2026-08-27T12:45:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Hyderabad police raided Luft Pub on Jubilee Hills Road No. 36 and took six minors into custody for allegedly consuming alcohol. The minors tried to hide when police arrived, but their Aadhaar cards revealed they were underage students preparing for CA and JEE exams. Breathalyser tests showed two of them had alcohol levels of 70 mg and 74 mg. Police have registered a case against Luft Pub and recommended the Excise Department suspend its licence. Further investigation is underway. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Pub owners in Telangana face licence suspension under the Telangana Excise Act if minors are served alcohol, with the excise commissioner holding the final say. This is not an isolated case: Hyderabad's Jubilee Hills police have conducted similar raids in the past year, reflecting increased scrutiny of nightlife venues near coaching hubs. The students now risk being named in a police report, which could affect their exam candidature if the institute's disciplinary committee acts. The next step is the excise department's show-cause notice to the pub, which typically gives seven days to respond before a suspension order. ## Coverage - deccanchronicle.com Leads with police raid and facts, no editorial slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
