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. He described the club as very suffocating and said that there is only one entry and exit door, which makes it very difficult to get out.
‘Staff abused, bouncers attacked’
Chandel said, ‘We were a total of 13 people. The structure of the club is such that it is very suffocating. Only one entry and one exit, that too at a height. 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.

‘There was difficulty even in filing FIR’
Chandel said, ‘Everyone was badly injured so we went to the police in the morning. They called us to Anjuna police station the next day. After a lot of efforts somehow an FIR could be registered. FIR was registered against club manager Ajay Kavitkar, staff member Junaid Ali and security staff. The woman had also included the names of Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra in the complaint, but the police said that they were not present at the time of the incident and hence their names were removed. He said, ‘If the safety of women and tourists is not taken seriously, such cases will definitely happen again in Goa.’ Investigation revealed that the restaurant was built illegally on government land.
Luthra Brothers fled the country after the fire tragedy
Gaurav and Saurabh Luthra, facing charges of culpable homicide, fled the country just hours after the accident. Both of them flew to Phuket, Thailand on Indigo flight. He was present in Delhi at the time of the incident.
