In a shocking turn of events, former New York City official Kamal Bherwani has come forward to blame Mohegan Sun for the tragic death of his son, whose fatal overdose was caught on video. Bherwani is now demanding that New York reject the casino giant’s bid to open a new location within the state.
The heartbreaking incident took place late last month at a Mohegan Sun hotel in Connecticut, where Bherwani’s son, Rahul, was staying with friends for a weekend getaway. The group had reportedly purchased what they believed to be cocaine from a dealer, only to later discover that the substance was laced with deadly fentanyl.
Security footage from the hotel shows Rahul collapsing in the hallway outside his room, as his friends frantically try to revive him. Despite their efforts, he tragically succumbed to the overdose before emergency services could arrive.
In a tearful press conference, Bherwani expressed his anguish and anger over the loss of his son, blaming Mohegan Sun for allowing such dangerous drugs to circulate within their premises. He also called into question the casino’s security protocols and alleged that they were complicit in his son’s death.
Bherwani went on to make a passionate plea to the state of New York, urging them to reject Mohegan Sun’s bid to open a new casino within their borders. He argued that the company had shown a blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of its patrons, and should not be trusted to operate in a responsible manner.
Mohegan Sun has yet to respond to Bherwani’s accusations, but the tragic incident has cast a dark cloud over their reputation and raised serious concerns about their operations. The New York Gaming Commission is now facing mounting pressure to consider these allegations as they review the casino’s bid.
In the meantime, Bherwani is left to mourn the loss of his beloved son, whose promising future was cut short by a deadly mistake. He hopes that by speaking out, he can prevent other families from experiencing the same heartache and prevent further tragedies from occurring at the hands of irresponsible businesses like Mohegan Sun.
