Video grab of liquor bottles strewn across Rajmachi fort and youngsters smoking up at the spot

Pune: On the one hand the government is spending crores to build a Chhatrapati Shivaji statue in the Arabian Sea and on the other one of the warrior king’s forts at Rajmachi has become a hub for addicts and goons. According to police sources, local shiv bhakts swooped down on a group of young trekkers from Mumbai on Saturday and recovered hookah and liquor bottles from them. While locals say it’s a common occurrence in the area, the youngsters managed to flee before cops could reach the spot.
