The incident is reported to have taken place between February 8 and 10.

According to a complaint lodged by Arossim resident Bernard Dias, the accused — identified as Jose Joaquim Ferandes, Simao D’Silva, Darick Azavedo, Macklin Rodrigues, Alex Azavedo, Benny D’Silva and others — allegedly built a wall on a public roadway, thereby blocking entry to his hotel project site.
