        My friend and I visited Goa from January 11th to 14th and stayed at a place called Hotel Vibes Inn in Nagoa, next to the church. Initially, everything seemed fine. The caretaker, a man named Saleh Ahmed, was polite, and we even offered him food during our stay.

        On January 14th, the day of our checkout, we left the room at 11 AM but kept our luggage at the hotel since our bus back was at 9 PM. The hotel has a common washroom on the ground floor connected to the caretaker’s quarters. Before heading out to explore Mapusa, I went to the washroom to change.

        Later, my friend went to use the same washroom, and thatโ€™s when everything went wrong. She came out crying, visibly shaken, and told me Saleh Ahmed had been peeping at her through the washroom window. I was furious and immediately called the Anjuna Police Station.

        The police arrived quickly and took Saleh Ahmed into custody. Shockingly, the hotel owner tried to bribe us to withdraw the FIR. All the washroom windows in the hotel were connected to a passage, making it easy for someone to spy.

        This incident happened yesterday (January 14th) at around 7:15 PM. Iโ€™ve been trying to get a copy of the FIR, but the police keep telling me that the server is down. Can someone guide me on how to escalate this or ensure I get the FIR?

        My friend is traumatized by the incident, and itโ€™s heartbreaking to see her go through this. I feel responsible for choosing this hotel, which turned what should have been a relaxing vacation into a nightmare.

        Iโ€™m sharing this to warn others: Do not book rooms at Hotel Vibes Inn in Nagoa, Goa. You never know who might be watching.

        Weโ€™re pursuing this case legally because no one should have to experience this violation of privacy and trust. Please stay safe, and if anyone has advice on how to handle the delay in obtaining the FIR, Iโ€™d greatly appreciate your help.

        Edit 1: Thank you so much, everyone, for the support. Iโ€™ve received the FIR copy.

                    Find the Ekala/ Area Magistrate of Anjuna PS. It is mandatory for the police to file a report along with the FIR at the area magistrateโ€™s court within 24 hours of registration of the FIR. Kindly get a lawyer for assistance.

                      Lawyer here…my advice would be to get a lawyer. A case has been registered. Within 90 days(max) the case will be listed at court for hearing. Defense will try to downplay it. Either you guys go with the public prosecutor or get a lawyer. Either you guys settle this outside the court or seek imprisonment from the court. For our of court settlement you guys will have the negotiating power (as long as it’s a sane amount) and if you guys are seeking imprisonment…then remember it always comes with a risk of acquittal but you can always file an appeal or a revision so…

                              I don’t think so. It’s a criminal matter. It will be a jurisdictional issue i.e. in simpler terms, Mumbai courts will not have authority or power to even hear the matters since no court can exercise it’s authority over the other court’s domain of authority (jurisdiction). Virtual appearance is always an option unless and until the court itself demands the party to appear in person.

                                  No because the crime is committed in Goa so the Goa court jurisdiction works not the Mumbai

                                  We Goans do not tolerate this kind of behavior, and I will make sure they pay for what they did, for now I have found the hotel on Google and everyone in the comments seem to praising the Saleh guy. You can add a negative review and mention this post, let’s review them down to hell.

                                              Thank you for pursuing this legally. I know the system is meat grinder for common man, but you will save countless women from this ordeal that makes you a great man. Also, if you don’t receive copy of FIR in a week. Try filing a complaint with Goa women commission.

                                                        Damn. The bad experiences of tourists are increasing day by day in Goa. Be it hotels, beaches, restaurants, streets, on road. Plus you touch anything itโ€™s a scam.

I have contacts and will share to them but need proofs before they publish
