The Delhi Police has tightened security in the popular Hauz Khas Village (HKV) following intelligence inputs about possible targeting of foreign visitors by terror outfits.
Restaurateurs, however, alleged that these measures were aimed at harassing them and harming their business. They have alleged that though they were allowed to run their restaurants till 1 am, police personnel start coming in at 11 pm and pester them to shut down.
They even claimed police were mulling banning ladies’ nights in pubs and bars at HKV, a charge denied by police. The South District Police have stepped up security at Hauz Khas Village in view of recent incidents of terror attacks on foreign tourists in various European countries, Deputy Commissioner of Police Ishwar Singh said.
