Ayesha Takia Breaks Silence After Goa Cops Book Farhan Azmi For Allegedly Creating Ruckus
‘Wanted’ actress Ayesha Takia’s husband Farhan Azmi has been booked by the Goa police for allegedly creating a ruckus in north Goa’s Candolim area over rash driving on Monday evening. Ayesha Takia has now broken her silence over this incident involving her husband, and claimed that Farhan and their son were brutally bullied by a group of Goa locals. She said that they were ‘tormented’ for hours, and the locals repeatedly cursed them for ‘being from Maharashtra and having a big car.’ She further shared that Farhan was the one who called the police for help, but the police ended up filing a complaint against him instead.
As per a report in Hindustan Times, Goa cops booked businessman Farhan Azmi, and two Goa residents on Monday evening. They were booked after Farhan, who was driving a luxury SUV, was stopped by some locals in the Candolim area who accused him of driving rashly. Farhan called the police, and reportedly told the locals to back off, warning that he had a licensed firearm for protection. Now, in her Instagram stories, Ayesha Takia reacted to this matter, and wrote, “It was a night of horror for our family up until this morning… Just saw this post and need to share. I will share more in due time… My husband and son were brutally bullied and scared for their life as local goan goons mobbed, threatened and tormented them for hours… They even badly roughed up the police who were called by my husband to protect our son and him.”
She further added, “The hatred for Maharashtra has reached unbelievable heights in goa…as they repeatedly cursed Farhan and my son for being from Maharashtra and having a big car. The police in turn, have filed a complaint against Farhan when he was the one in fact who dialed 100 for help against the large crowd of almost 150 people.”
In another story, she said that they have video evidence, including CCTV footage, which they will share with the authorities. “We have video proof and evidence, including cctv footage, which will be shared with competent authorities in due course of time. We are cooperating with the law enforcement agencies, and we believe in justice of the system and our Indian courts,” she wrote.
North Goa Superintendent of Police Akshat Kaushal told Hindustan Times that when the police arrived, the locals refused to allow them to take the driver to the police station. “Finally, both parties involved in the altercation were brought to Calangute police station. They were given the opportunity to file complaints but both parties refused to do so,” he said.
He added that since the individuals involved were fighting in a public place, and were disturbing public peace, a state-initiated complaint was filed by police sub inspector Paresh Sinari of Calangute Police Station.
Farhan Azmi is a businessman and the son of politician Abu Azmi. Ayesha tied the knot with Farhan in 2009, and they welcomed their son Mikhail in 2013.
