The management of Tandoor dance bar in Matunga is feeling the heat after the police rescued 13 bargirls, nine of whom were found semi-conscious after being crammed into a tiny cavity behind a bathroom. Police said had they not found the cavity in time, the girls could have suffocated to death. The Shivaji Park police have booked the manager for attempted culpable homicide.

"Nine of the girls were stuffed into a congested room without ventilation. Had our team not reached in time, it could have been dangerous for them," said Assistant Commissioner Of Police (Dadar Division) Rajendra Chavan.
