Candolim/Goa: Actor Ayesha Takia said that it was the Goan people who intimidated her husband and their 11-year-old son in the incident of a scuffle in the Goan town of Candolim. Over the incident, the state police had arrested Ayesha’s husband, Farhan Azmi, and some others, but two days after the arrest, she shared videos from the incident showing that her husband and her child were the victims, though the police arrested the “bullies,” “hooligans” and “goons” who intimidated them, The Indian Express reported.
She had shared a news portal’s story saying that Farhan Azmi, son of Samajwadi Party leader Abu Azmi, was arrested for threatening Goa locals and abusing his power.
Along the videos she shared, Aysesha wrote defending her husband, saying, “Goa police has booked these hooligans/bullies also… Pls refrain from spreading lies. Pls watch all videos n see the goons for urself… refrain from blaming Farhan and my 11 yr old, who are the actual victims.” “Farhan abusing power???? Pls the actual bullies for yourself. Pls hear these rowdy women call my son dirty words and intimidate him.. he is 11 yrs old… Farhan was already in the cop car at this point… Who are these horrendous, disgusting women… Shameful…”
In one of the videos, shot from inside her car, a couple of Goans could be seen attempting to retrieve a bag from a police officer. Even when the officer resists them and sits inside the car, the couple continues to force themselves into the car and refuse to let the car leave while shouting.
“See how they behave with the police to get the bag with Farhan’s licensed weapon… See how disrespectful and dangerous they are even with the law… See how she asks blatantly for his weapon… which as u can hear is in a bag with the cops… He never even removed it…” Ayesha 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 wrote. She added that the crowd repeatedly cursed her husband and son for being from Maharashtra and having a big car.
