Seasoned actor Ashwath Bhatt, who recently visited Turkey, in Istanbul was assaulted by a robber. Sharing his distressing ordeal, Ashwath, who went abroad for a short vacation was attacked by a gang at Galata Tower, in the Beyoglu district. The actor asserted that despite being warned by friends about the same, he did not expect the magnitude at which he encountered it.
In an interaction with ETimes, Ashwath shared, "I was walking towards Galata Tower when a man approached me. He had a chain in his hand, and before I could fully comprehend what was happening, he hit me on the back with it. In retrospect, it was likely a gang working in tandem, trying to snatch my bag. For a second, I was so shocked - what`s happening? But I think they weren`t expecting me to resist and put up a fight.”
