Nagpur: A family outing turned violent at Dwarka Water Park near Waki village under Khapa Police Station limits, when bouncers and security guards allegedly assaulted seven visitors from Kamptee on Sunday, June 15 evening. Two women lost consciousness due to the assault and were later admitted to a government hospital. The matter has been reported to the Patansawangi police outpost.
According to reports, Sakshi Gharote, Sonali Shinde, Vivek Shinde, Pawan Shinde, Mayur Ghatole, and their two friends, Shatru and Mayur, had visited Dwarka Water Park on Sunday morning. As the park began closing around 6 pm, a dispute broke out between one of the visitors and a security guard. The argument escalated when more guards and bouncers joined in and physically assaulted five individuals – Sakshi Gharote, Sonali Shinde, Vivek Shinde, Shatru, and Mayur. Bystanders reportedly recorded the incident on their mobile phones.
The victims were allegedly locked inside a room within the park for nearly an hour. Despite repeated pleas by Pawan Shinde and Mayur Ghatole, no immediate help arrived, even after calling Khapa Police Station and Dial 112. During the altercation, Sakshi and Sonali fainted due to the assault.
Desperate for help, Pawan contacted a friend in Kamptee who shared the contact of Nagpur Rural SP Harsh Poddar. Following his call, senior police officials initiated action. Fearing police intervention, park staff reportedly dropped the unconscious women at Patansawangi Government Hospital in an Ecosport car and fled.
Patansawangi police reached the hospital and later transferred the injured women to Nagpur Government Hospital via ambulance. A formal complaint has been registered at the Patansawangi police outpost.
Victims and their families are now questioning the delayed response from Khapa Police, especially since the incident occurred in their jurisdiction. Sources also revealed that a similar incident had occurred last week, but action was allegedly subdued following intervention by a local political leader, emboldening the park staff.
