MiD DAY photographer Satyajit Desai and freelance photographer Dasharath Kadam were allegedly attacked by a bouncer at Hotel Sea Princess in Juhu yesterday.
The Santacruz police have registered the case against the security guard.
Desai had been assigned to cover a poolside party hosted by a liquor company. He had with him the invite sent by the organiser, requesting the paper to cover the event.
Desai started capturing the event on his camera. Some of the shots included that of models present at the event, clad in swimwear near the pool.
Seeing him clicking photographs of the event, the bouncer, Prateek Chavan, objected, and shoved him, using foul language. Managing to save his camera from falling into the pool, an irked Desai asked why he was being abused for doing his job. It is then that the bouncer allegedly started beating him up. When Kadam rushed to his rescue, he too received blows.
“ He attacked us, injuring us,” said Desai.
“ I am bleeding,” said Kadam.
The two phographers went to the Santacruz police station and registered a complaint against the bouncer, who was later detained.
“ I am aware that the bouncer attacked the photographer. I have also given my statement to the police,” said Kamran Shaikh, event PR who had arranged for the bouncer.
