Romeo Lane Goa Assault Case: Romeo Lane Beach Shack in Vagator, Goa, which is a property owned by Luthra Brothers, is once again embroiled in controversy. Last month, an FIR was registered against the club staff for assault on a woman and her family.

Mumbai resident Vaibhavi Chandel, who had gone to the club with her family on November 1, alleged that the club staff misbehaved with her, behaved inappropriately and beat her and her family with iron rods.

When we were leaving at 3 o’clock in the night, my cousin slightly moved the heavy chair placed on the way, due to which the staff got angry. He told that the club manager accused him of damaging the furniture and said, ‘You should have thrown him out earlier. You people don’t have the capacity to live here. After this the manager caught hold of his cousin’s collar.

Chandel said that when they were trying to leave after apologizing, the manager called all the security personnel and bouncers. They ran after us and started beating us. Attacked my sister on the chest, pushed her and made her fall down the stairs. Barricades were placed at the entry gate so that we could not go out. When my brother removed the barricade, a bouncer came with a rod and beat him brutally. It is recorded in the FIR that when Chandel tried to save his brother, the staff slapped him and tried to grab his T-shirt. He told that the staff kept abusing continuously.
