PANAJI, (PTI): Two migrant hotel staffers were arrested by the Pernem police in North Goa district today for allegedly assaulting a Russian woman tourist with the intention of robbing her, police said.

The incident took place at a hotel in Morjim on Friday, said an official of Pernem police station.

As per a complaint filed by Aigul Davletianova (30), two unknown men entered her hotel room around 3 pm when she was sleeping.

As she woke up, they caught hold of her hands and tried to cover her mouth with hands so that she would not scream, causing her injuries, she said.
