75-year-old French actress Marianne Borgo has alleged she is being held “hostage” in Goa

The 75-year-old French actress Marianne Borgo has alleged she is being
held “hostage” in her house at Calangute in North Goa since earlier this
week over a property dispute and finds herself in a “dangerous situation”.
The Goa police have expressed reluctance to intervene in the matter, saying
the dispute related to the house is civil in nature and is being heard by a
court. In a video released to the media on Thursday,Borgo claimed she is in
a “scary and dangerous situation” at her residence in Calangute, a beach
town near Panaji which is popular with tourists.People staking claim to her
property have disconnected electricity and water connections to her home
and she has been forced to live in dark, she said.

The actress alleged she is being held “hostage” in the house for the last
three days.Borgo said she had bought the house for “happiness, peace and
for retirement”, but the last few days had been horrendous. One of Borgo’s
friends said the septuagenarian actor had filed a case for injunction in
the trial court to support her legal claim to the house that she bought in
2008 from a lawyer, Francisco Sousa, who has since died.The main gate of
the house has been blocked and no one except the maid is being allowed to
enter the premises, she said.
