Kolkata police are investigating claims that a woman was assaulted and molested at the Play Boy club inside Hyatt Regency, Bidhannagar, in the early hours of Sunday. She was accompanied by her husband, brother, and friends when the alleged attack took place around 4:15 am.

In her FIR, the woman said, “…while happily partying at my table in the club, a few people started fighting with us. Junaid Khan, Nasir Khan and their group of friends physically assaulted and attempted to sexually abuse me… When my brother tried to protect (me), they threw glass and bottles at him. Then we tried to run away from the hotel to save ourselves but Junaid Khan called more people to the hotel, around 20 boys, and started attacking us again.”

She added that the group blocked all exits and physically harassed her, stating, “Then a few boys started pushing me and touching me in a very bad way… I have attached the medical report and you can find all the attacking videos as CCTV of the club premises. I therefore request you to register my complaint and take immediate action… Junaid Khan and Nasir Khan are criminals who were involved in the Park Street rape. They are threatening to kill me over the phone.”

Ex-Park Street Rapist Named in Club Assault

Nasir Khan, previously convicted in the 2012 Park Street gang rape case, was released in 2020. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and verifying mobile tower data to confirm his involvement. Preliminary investigations suggest the table where the woman was seated may have been booked under one of the accused’s names.

The FIR, filed at Bidhannagar South Police Station, cites sections on voluntarily causing hurt, criminal force, assault, and solitary confinement under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. No arrests have been made yet.

During the attack, the woman and her family hid in the club’s liquor room until police rescued them. A counter-complaint has also been filed against the woman and her brother alleging assault.

Bidhannagar Police Commissioner Mukesh Kumar said, “We immediately lodged an FIR soon after getting the complaint from the victim lady. During the investigation, our team gathered CCTV footage from the club which is being examined. The statement of the victim has also been recorded. Investigation is underway, we are probing every aspect with priority.”
