Sharmila Das said the women involved — identified as Nancy, Nandini, Susmita, Payel and Riya — had long been working in the hotel’s spa services, and from the start had not maintained a cordial relationship with her. After the theft was captured on CCTV and reported to the owner, tensions escalated and the incident spiraled out of control.

Owner Dr. J.P. Das stated that while the receptionist had gone to eat, several young women attempted to steal the hotel’s mobile phone that had been placed on a table. The receptionist noticed the attempt and the situation turned heated. The accused women, however, claim that five employees were fined over the phone theft despite the missing phone being valued at just ₹15,000. They also allege delayed salary payments and say unethical activities occur in the spa rooms — pointing to deeper internal problems beyond the single theft incident.

The altercation at Parijat Hotel cum Restaurant on Thursday evening created a strong reaction across the town. People are questioning the hotel’s conduct and management practices. “They stole the phone because they thought no one would catch them, but I confronted them,” said a hotel representative describing the sequence of events. “When I checked the CCTV, the evidence was clear and they were fined. They tried to frame me with the phone; they could not tolerate me from the very first day, so problems persisted.”

According to the owner’s account, after the fine was imposed the accused came back and violently attacked the receptionist. They smashed the front glass and caused other damage. “They have been our staff for a long time; they were posted here in different roles,” the owner said, naming Nandini, Susmita, Payel and Riya as people involved. He added that the women had been repeatedly instructed to return the stolen phone, but became desperate and resorted to violence when confronted. The hotel’s losses include damage to the new car purchased just last month, broken glass panels, and damaged computer equipment.

In her own account, receptionist Sharmila Das explained when the incident began and why tensions had grown. She said the women are not trained therapists in the formal sense, but work assigned shifts during which each would attend to customers in sequence. Sharmila denied any wrongdoing or favoritism: “If customers arrive, I assign staff one by one — I never give anyone preferential treatment. The payments are processed through the reception and follow our rules and regulations. When customers come, we follow our licensed procedures and charge payments at reception. There is no practice of arbitrarily assigning anyone to rooms. If staff are unhappy with our rules or if customers don’t arrive, that is not our fault.”

Sharmila continued, “On the day in question, a company phone that is vital for bookings and advertising was left on a table. Several women were seen on video seizing the phone and taking it away. I repeatedly asked them to hand it back, but they refused. Because that phone contains important contact information, I was anxious to retrieve it. When I informed the owner, they reacted violently and attacked me. I was taken to the police and for medical treatment. They then asked the attackers to leave, saying this behavior was unacceptable — stealing and then assaulting the complainant is intolerable.”

Following the incident, the accused employees countered with serious accusations against management, claiming unjust fines and alleging withheld wages and unethical conduct in spa rooms. As the case develops, public scrutiny of Parijat Hotel cum Restaurant has intensified, with many in the community demanding clarity and accountability over both the theft allegation and the broader claims about the hotel’s operations
