Bar dancers assault retired Navy official, loot Rs 54,000; Shocking VIDEO surfaces

New Delhi: In a disturbing incident in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, a retired Navy man named Ramchandra Shukla and his family were reportedly assaulted by a group of eight bar dancers. The altercation allegedly began when Shukla refused to extend credit for cigarettes to the dancers, leading to a violent confrontation. According to the shopkeeper, the dancers also purportedly looted Rs. 54,000 from the shop during the incident.

Shockingly, despite the severity of the assault, no one from the neighborhood intervened to assist the Shukla family. Local reports suggest that this reluctance stemmed from a perceived fear of repercussions under gender-biased laws focused on protecting women.
