Guwahati Police have registered a case after videos circulated online appearing to show a woman stripped and assaulted at a nightclub in the city’s Khanapara area. The sequence of events and identities of those involved remain unclear, and the club management has not commented.

Guwahati Police have registered a case after videos circulated online appearing to show a woman stripped and assaulted at a nightclub in the city’s Khanapara area. The alleged incident took place late on Thursday at The Locals Caf and Lounge. The videos show a woman lying on the floor without clothes while two women appear to kick her.

Several men are visible nearby in the footage. A second video appears to show another woman trying to help the victim stand, although a car later blocks the view. Preliminary reports say the woman was pushed to the floor, stripped and assaulted inside the venue before being taken from its fourth floor towards the parking area.

The precise sequence of events has not been established. There are reports of an earlier confrontation between the woman and a female bouncer, but the circumstances of that alleged altercation have not been independently confirmed. Police are examining what happened before the reported assault, how the incident developed and the roles played by people shown in the videos.

The identity of the woman had not been established in the supplied material. It was not immediately clear whether anyone linked to the nightclub had been questioned or arrested. Police are expected to question people connected with the incident and examine available evidence, including the videos circulating on social media.

When media representatives visited the establishment, it was reportedly closed and its lights had been switched off. No management representative came forward to respond to the allegations. The case remains under investigation, and the footage alone does not establish the full circumstances or determine responsibility.

Further details are expected as police gather statements and review evidence. The allegations have prompted attention because the videos appear to show violence against a woman in a public entertainment venue. Police have not, in the supplied material, released details of the specific offences recorded or identified suspects.
