Galvanized by the sluggish attitude of the local police to their pressing concern, the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) volunteers took up arms against the illegal massage parlour in the Deccan Gymkhana area. They claimed they had been complaining against the indecent goings-on at this and four others in the region for the past two months, but the Deccan police did not pay any heed to their concern.
