Statement from Playboy Club Kolkata: Altercation Unrelated to Operations or Staff Conduct

Kolkata, 31st October 2025 :  Playboy Club Kolkata today issued a statement categorically refuting the misleading and exaggerated versions of a recent incident appearing in certain sections of the media.

The club clarifies that the individuals involved in the altercation were members of the same guest group, who entered the club together and were socializing as one unit. The dispute was an internal disagreement among those guests, entirely unrelated to club operations, staff conduct, or management practices. Crucially, the club confirms that no physical assault of any kind took place during the incident.

The incident occurred briefly during closing hours and was contained within minutes, without causing any injuries or disruption to other guests or hotel operations. The club’s CCTV footage and internal incident reports clearly establish that the situation originated and concluded entirely within that group, and that security personnel responded swiftly and effectively to resolve the matter.

The news reports and social media posts alleging assault or harassment are factually incorrect and unverified. All relevant video footage, incident logs, and staff statements have been submitted to the authorities, who have reviewed the material and found no evidence of any misconduct by club staff or management.

“We deeply regret that an isolated dispute among a few guests has been misrepresented as a reflection on our establishment,” said Rohit Malhotra, CEO of Playboy Venues in India. “We operate under strict brand and hotel safety protocols, maintaining the highest standards of hospitality, transparency, and guest care. The safety and comfort of our patrons will always remain our top priority.”

All relevant video evidence and internal reports have already been submitted to the concerned authorities. For media houses wishing to review this evidence, access can be provided upon receiving an official written request.

Playboy Club Kolkata respectfully urges media outlets and individuals to maintain factual reporting and avoid speculative narratives that may damage the reputation of an internationally respected hospitality brand.
