It was a terrifying incident for a family from Pune who were on vacation in Goa when they were allegedly assaulted by a taxi driver near the St. Anthony Chapel junction in Calangute. The altercation quickly gained attention after a video of the assault circulated on social media.
The family had been walking near the Calangute-Candolim road when they asked a taxi driver to move his vehicle that was blocking their path. Instead of complying, the driver became aggressive and physically attacked them, leaving the family feeling unsafe in what was supposed to be a relaxing vacation destination.
One of the attackers, identified as Philip Noronha, was swiftly arrested by the police, but a second driver involved in the incident is still at large. This incident is just one in a series of violent attacks in popular tourist areas in Goa, raising concerns about the safety of visitors in the region.
As the search for the second taxi driver continues, the Sheikh family is urging the Goa government to prioritize tourist safety and ensure that such incidents do not happen again. The family hopes that their ordeal will serve as a wake-up call for authorities to take stricter measures to protect tourists in the coastal belt.
