FIR
Mumbai: Khar police have registered an FIR against eight people after Ugandan businessman Prince Louis Mushabe (28) alleged that a woman and her male friends assaulted him twice following accidental elbow contact at a pub in Khar West in the wee hours of Monday. Police identified six accused as Murad Al Rahisi (26), Ritika Al Rahisi (25), Naimuddin Shaikh (37), Mohit Ramraje (23), Navnit Jha (28) and Arnav Jha (28). They were traced to their Goregaon homes within 12 hours using CCTV footage from the pub’s parking area that captured them taking a cab. Mushabe, managing director of international procurement and supply-chain company Prince Louis Holdings, reached the pub alone around 11.15pm on Sunday. Around 1 am, an unidentified person shook his hand and pulled him, causing his elbow to accidentally touch a woman behind him, he told police.
Police said the accused were struggling actors and background artistes in Bollywood. Police said Mushabe frequently visits India for business, including audits of medical-grade supply chains and manufacturing facilities. The accused claimed that Mushabe had misbehaved with their female friend, an allegation he denied. Police have sought CCTV footage from inside the pub to establish what triggered the incident. A bouncer rescued Mushabe and sent him by car to Khar police station. His wristwatch was damaged during the assault.
They were apprehended and later released after being served notices on Monday evening.
Mushabe was taken to Bhabha Hospital after reporting difficulty hearing in his left ear. Doctors found no serious injury but advised a pure-tone audiometry test on Tuesday.
