According to the news agency the whole scenario at the Villa has completely changed. The earlier caretakers such as the cooks, gardeners, security staff and drivers of the Kingfisher Villa who used to show off were now avoiding any contact with either the curious onlookers or the media out of embarrassment.

The bouncers became the center of attraction to the tourists and locals who gathered around in curiosity to find out as what is going on at this place. Radheshyam, the area manager of Mumbai-based ADF security services, the “bouncer team” deployed by SBICAP Trustee Company Ltd, which took over the villa on Friday as part of the loan recovery process following a North Goa District Collector order. Radheshyam told the media that he had scattered 44 boys across the property, especially to cover the main gate, the adjacent road and the beach entry to the property.

Radhesyam himself was standing in front of the gate with the broad smile of victory while he and his men were being photographed by all the people gathered around the villa due to Kingfisher story. He even apparently moved away those tourists venturing too close to the gate for the selfies holding up the ‘V’ sign.

The ADF security head told the media that, “Initially we were told by our agency that that our client SBI’s property needed to be secured in Goa. It was much later that someone told us the property belonged to Mallya. Given the high-profile case, we were told to be keeping a watch for media presence and be on our best behavior,” Radheshyam said.

For Radhesyam and his team, it was the first time visit to Goa and that too at Vijay Mallya’s mansion. According to sources, Radheshyam and his team left Mumbai for Goa on Thursday evening and met up with other teammates as well as bank officials and police to draw up an action plan early Friday morning, before proceeding on the eviction drive.

Besides their personal belongings, said Radheshyam, the villa’s staffs were allowed to take away a few cars and furniture. The bank only has rights to the immovable property. “But two cars are still on the premises. Proper authorization is needed to take them away,” one of the new guards said.

Radheshyam and his staff are not sure as when they will go back home since they have the orders to guard this palatal property till they hear the next orders from the bank. “We don’t know what is next or when we can go home. But as long as the company wants us here, we will be here,” a guard said.

Behind them in the dark stood the house once at the heart of many a story of the rich and famous. Previous attempts to auction it at a base price of Rs 150 crore have been futile. As of now, there are no takers for Kingfisher Villa. Till the SBICAP finds the suitable buyer for this place it will remain guarded by these ‘Bouncers’.
