Advocate Asim Sarvode argued that Blak Pub, operational at the Marriott Suites, is a worldwide brand that allows only members. While speaking to LomatTimes, Advocate Sarvode said, "The police have deliberately refrained from charging action under Section 394 of the IPC. Secondly, two FIRs were filed by the police in this case. We still demand that the minor accused should be tried as an adult."
