Nagpur: A video showing a group of youths, including young girls, openly consuming alcohol at the iconic Futala Lake has gone viral on social media, triggering widespread outrage among Nagpur residents. The footage, reportedly shot over the weekend, captures the individuals drinking in full public view, turning the popular leisure spot into what many are calling an “open bar.”

The incident has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with citizens demanding immediate accountability and strict action from the local authorities. Many questioned the absence of police patrolling at such a high-footfall public location, especially during evening hours when families and tourists frequent the area.

Futala Lake, known for its scenic beauty and recently renovated promenade, has increasingly become a hotspot for such public nuisance cases, raising concerns about security and enforcement of law.

Citizens have urged the Nagpur Police and the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) to step up surveillance, ensure zero tolerance for public drinking, and implement stricter penalties to maintain the sanctity of the city’s public spaces.

As of now, there is no official statement from law enforcement regarding action taken in the case.
