Stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui, known for winning Bigg Boss 17, was one of 13 people apprehended by Mumbai police in a late-night raid on a hookah lounge in Fort, south Mumbai. Acting on a tip-off, police raided the Sabalan hookah bar, suspecting patrons of using tobacco-based hookahs disguised as herbal ones. The raid took place in response to a tip-off received by the police, leading them to suspect that tobacco-based hookahs were being served at the establishment, disguised as herbal ones. During the raid, a total of 13 people, including Munawar Faruqui, were detained. The police seized several hookah pots, which will be sent for testing to determine the presence of tobacco. As of now, no charges have been filed against Faruqui or the other detainees, and investigations are ongoing. The police are examining CCTV footage and recording statements from witnesses to gather more evidence. While the details surrounding Faruqui’s involvement in the alleged hookah bar incident remain unclear, this incident has once again sparked a debate about the use and legality of hookah bars across the country.
