Indian-Origin Couple Allege Brutal Assault at Swiss Hotel as Management Cites Self-Defence

The hotel disputes the allegations, invoking self-defence, with no public update from Swiss police.

Overview

  • The couple say a confrontation at Seehotel Schwert in Gersau in late June left Nikita with one tooth lost, damage to 11–12 others and a jaw injury, along with PTSD and anxiety.
  • The dispute allegedly began over a room fan and language barriers, with the pair claiming they were treated disrespectfully compared with German-speaking white guests.
  • They report calling police and seeking medical care, with Karan spending hours at a local station, after which they cut short their trip and returned to Canada.
  • Hotel management denies the account, alleging the couple were rude, filmed staff without consent and assaulted a 60-year-old employee, who was hospitalized.
  • The hotel says a glass was thrown in self-defence and evidence was submitted to police, while media reports note no clear public statement from Swiss authorities.
