Ayesha Takia slams ‘disrespectful and dangerous’ Goa locals after husband Farhan Azmi’s arrest

Ayesha shared another video captured from inside her car, in which the said Goan couple can be seen trying 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. Ayesha wrote along with the video, “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…”

Goa police arrested Farhan Azmi and others for a scuffle in the Candolim market late on Monday night. The police said the fight broke out over “a petty matter” and that Farhan kept telling the others that he’s carrying a licensed gun in his bag. Ayesha took to her Instagram Stories later to clarify that her husband informed the police, only to get a complaint registered against him. “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 Farhan and my son for being from Maharashtra and having a big car.”
