Police Station in Goa Inaugurated with Belly Dance
Panaji, Nov 14 (IANS) The entire Goa Police top brass was treated to a belly
dance performed
by a scantily clad Russian dance troupe at a newly inaugurated police
station in the state.
The belly dance was held at a function to celebrate the inauguration of the
new premises of the Anjuna police station,
15 km from Panaji, late Thursday evening.
Officials at the Anjuna police station said that the dance had to be called
off after the crowd comprising of police officials
and civilians got unruly, and tried to climb onto the stage on which the
belly dancers were performing.
"The belly dancers came as soon as the home minister left the premises after
the inauguration.
All the senior police officials including the inspector general of police
and senior superintendents of police were present,"
an official at the Anjuna police station said, adding that the show was
conducted by a Delhi-based organiser of exotic dances called Yogi.
When contacted, Inspector General of Police (IGP) K.D. Singh said:
"Yogi had approached us after which he was given permission. What is the
harm?
The place where the event was held was the police station premises and it
was open to the public."
The inspector general of police said the media was simply "raking up the
issue".
"When there are naked people on the beach, going against our culture, it is
not highlighted.
But a dance event in the police station premises is taken wrongly...this
should not be done," Singh said.
