Two photographers get brutally assaulted by a restaurant's bouncers.

An untoward incident took place outside a Mumbai restaurant last night where two photographers were assaulted by the hotel bouncers. The incident happened after Shilpa Shetty and husband Raj Kundra stepped out of the restaurant where they posed for the paparazzi.

A FIR has been registered at Khar police station following which two arrests have reportedly been made.

According to reports, as soon as Shilpa and Raj boarded their car, the media personnel were attacked by the restaurant's bouncers. The restaurant's bouncers allegedly became furious towards photographers who were identified as Sonu and Himanshu Shinde and in fact, pushed them away.

In a video shared by one of the photographers, the bouncers can be seen landing heavy blows on the photographers resulting in them suffering bruises.

The hotel today released an official statement over the incident. "We're saddened and shocked by the incident that took place outside Bastian last night. We have celebrities and well-known guests visiting us frequently, and every experience has so far been smooth. During last night's incident, the people involved were personnel of Tough Security who are hired for Bastian via external vendors - as is the practice, the security agency assigns their personnel to us and other establishments based on who is available that day. All the Bastian staff, as well as the management, was inside in the restaurant on the second floor at the time of the incident - we were made aware of the same a while after it began. This was a highly unfortunate situation that escalated beyond anything we could have imagined. As soon as the Bastian team found out, we took remedial measures to get things under control. We are changing security agencies today as we do not want to take the risk of this happening again, as well as personally apologising to the media involved. We are also collecting all information so that we are able to offer to take care of any and all medical bills that may have resulted due to this incident."

Our photographers Sonu Chawla and HImanshu Shinde were bashed up by the bouncers of Bastian restaurant in Bandra. All the Photogrpaher did to the bouncer was a request to be on side so he could take pictures of #shilpashetty but this is what happened

Not everybody wants to get clicked all the time. They need their privacy too which media does not seem to acknowledge.
Similar incident last week with Sunil Shetty and his response.

Replying to @mid_day

Because courtesy demands that one seeks permission before recording & like everyone else I like my privacy too.
