After losing three generations of a single family, in a horrible accident in Panjagutta, Hyderabad, the licenses of three bars, including TGIF or Thank God It's Friday has been cancelled.

The TGIF bar, in Banjara Hills, had served liquor on July 1st, to a minor btech student K Shravil, who is accused of ramming a car later and killing a child Ramya, her uncle and grandfather.

The city police have threatened to inform schools and colleges, if the students are caught drinking in the public places. They also warned those driving after drinking, will be informed at their work places. 

According to the CCTV footage, Shravil and his friends got into their car drunk from the bar and sped on the Banjara Hills main road, crashing into a road divider before landing on a car on the opposite side of the road.

While 35-year-old P Rajesh, who was driving the other car, died on the spot, his niece Ramya, 10, has fought with the death for 8 days and lost life in the hospital. Adding to it, Rajesh's father P Madhusudanachary, who was fractured in his backbone and ribs, died on Monday morning. 

Reacting to the seizing off the bars, Rajesh’s wife Shilpa questioned, “'Why has the excise department woken up so late, after our family is destroyed? Wasn't it always illegal to serve liquor to minors?''

Meanwhile, excise department in Telangana is strict against selling alcohol to minors and regarding this, it has decided to cancel the licenses on the spot, if any illegal means are carried on, by the bars and pubs in the city.
