One of India’s top businessmen has reiterated plans to bring back iconic British motorcycle brand BSA.
Anand Mahindra told the Guardian that he hopes the first bikes could start rolling off the production line by the middle of next year.
The billionaire chairman of Mahindra Group hopes to soon start building a research facility in Banbury where researchers will develop electric motorcycles, he told the Guardian.
The first production will be of classic fossil-fuel burning bikes, but by the end of 2021, Mahindra hopes that BSA electric bikes could hit roads.
“The UK was the leader in bikes right from the start,” Mr Mahindra told the newspaper. “That provenance is something that we really want to retain.”
City Attorney Mike Feuer also said the club is a “hub of violence and crime,” including several shootings over the summer.
“Beyond the bullets, assaults, and criminal activity, packing people into an unlicensed nightclub during the pandemic is the height of irresponsibility,” Feuer said Monday in a news release. “That’s why licensed clubs are closed right now.”
The nuisance abatement lawsuit seeks to permanently shut down the club, which has been operating out of a storefront, as well as prohibit the defendants from using the property as a nightclub in the future.
The lawsuit alleges that the nightclub is advertised as a secret venue on social media and offers pole dancing, music, hookah, performances and a bar. Prosecutors say that while the storefront looks closed, patrons enter through a back door.
