Customer is not a king for Vishal’s Country Side’s hotel.

In a shocking incident on the night of March 9, 2023, the team members of Marvelous Belgaum were brutally attacked by the staff of a “Vishal Countryside Hotel” at Sulaga, Belagavi where we had gone for dinner. The incident began when one of our team members requested the waiter to serve the food. However, instead of providing polite service, the waiter began to behave rudely and started abusing our team members, including the female members. The team members were shocked by his behavior and asked to speak to the owner of the hotel. And when our team members asked to speak to the owner, the situation quickly escalated, and the hotel staff began physically assaulting our team members. Instead of resolving the issue, the other staff members of the hotel, joined in and began to beat up the team members with kitchen utensils. The attack was brutal and continued for a few minutes.  As the situation escalated, we realized that our safety, as well as the safety of our female team members, was at risk. Therefore, to counter the attack from the hotel staff and protect ourselves, as well as our female team members, we resorted to self-defense measures. As a result of our self-defense measures, we were able to protect ourselves and our female team members from harm. We also urge all individuals to learn self-defense techniques to protect themselves in case of such unexpected situations. Several members of the team suffered injuries. The incident has left the team members traumatized and deeply disturbed.

The team members of Marvelous Belgaum immediately informed the police about the incident. A team of police arrived at the hotel. The team members were rushed to the hospital for medical treatment, and thankfully, their injuries were not life-threatening.
