Indian-American Sibling Get $9mn Settlement In Assault Case
NEW YORK: An Indian-American brother-sister duo has been awarded record USD 9 mn in damages for severe injuries sustained when they were attacked by metal bats during a brawl with two men in a night club here in 2005.
Anuj Sapra and Arti Sapra won the judgement in Manhattan Supreme Court for the incident at the city club when the two men misbehaved with them and later beat them up with baseball bats.
The siblings' Indian-American attorney Ravi Batra said that the case "represents the serious fallout of New York clubs regularly serving under-age children excessive amounts of liquor, and such drunken state coupled with immature judgement, becoming a violent trigger for serious injury, or worse, near-death."
The court ruled against firm Ten's Cabaret, which owned the club, and awarded compensatory and punitive damages of over USD 8 mn for Anuj Sapra and over USD 640,000 for his sister.
Batra said the Sapras were harassed and assaulted by Mohammad Abdul-Shakoor and Mohammad Asif who were "under-age" but were still "illegally" served liquor by the club.
