Former actor Ayesha Takia penned a note on Instagram Stories on Tuesday after a case was filed against her husband, entrepreneur Abu Farhan Azmi, and two locals by Goa Police for “creating a ruckus” in North Goa’s Candolim area over rash driving.

Farhan, who was driving a luxury SUV, was stopped by some locals in the Candolim area and a fight took place. He called the police and reportedly told the locals to back off, warning them that he had a licensed firearm for protection.

Now, Ayesha has claimed that her husband and son were bullied and left traumatized: “It was a night of horror for our family up until this morning... My husband and son were brutally bullied and feared for their lives as goons tormented them for hours.”

The 38-year-old 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.”

She added that they have “video proof and evidence”. A police release states that “the individuals involved were fighting in a public place, disturbing public peace, and causing affray”.
