Tuesday, 14 March 2023 | SR | New Delhi

A tourist family from Delhi is said to have been attacked with swords and knives by locals in  the Anjuna region of Goa. The tourists were staying at a resort called "Spazio Leisure" when they were viciously attacked by some outlaws.

One of the family members, Jatin Sharma, posted information about the incident on his Instagram account. According to a woman in another video in the post, who was narrating the incident with the injured man by her side, said they checked into the Spazio Leisure Resort in Goa's Anjuna and had a small altercation with the staff which they reported to the manager who fired the concerned staff member. After this incident, the staff allegedly called his accomplices, who gathered outside the resort and attacked the family members with knives and swords, they said.

Meanwhile, the Goa police has arrested four people, and charged them with attempt to murder.  A preliminary enquiry has also been initiated against the investigating officer after accusations from victims that the police went soft on attackers. Goa Chief Minister Pramod Sawant condemned the incident and said “anti-social" elements were behind it. “I have directed the Police to take the harshest action against the perpetrators," he said.

A 47-year-old Ashwini Kumar Chandrani, a resident of Delhi, was assaulted by the "gang residents" of Anjuna with fist blows, kicks, belts, baseball bat, and knife at around 5 pm on March 5, causing him and family members injuries, the police said, adding that the family filed a complaint against one Roshan and other unknown persons. The main accused, Roshan, was a receptionist at the resort.According to reports, Anjuna Police said that during the course of investigation, they found that the assault was with knife and other weapons on vital parts of the body, hence section 307 of the Indian Penal Code (attempt to murder) was invoked.With help of CCTV footage, the police have identified accused in the assault and arrested Roshan, Nyron , Joseph Lobo, and Kashinath Vishvor Agarqadekae.
