Pune police have detained two individuals from Mumbai linked to alleged drug use at a local bar, a top official revealed on Tuesday.

The duo appeared in a viral video with a drug-like substance, capturing significant attention. The video, purportedly from the Liquid Leisure Lounge or L3 on Fergusson College Road, depicted youths with the substance.

According to the police, the bar operated until 5 am on Sunday and sold liquor beyond the permissible limit of 1.30 am. Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar stated that the two detainees were seen in the viral video. Previously, eight people, including an event organizer, were arrested, and four police officers were suspended for allowing the bar to operate beyond legal hours. Likewise, six L3 waiters were arrested for violating liquor licensing regulations. Samples from the L3's toilet were collected to test for narcotic substances.
