Jolie's bodyguards detained in India after fracas

NEW DELHI (TP News) - Indian police detained three of Angelina Jolie's bodyguards on Friday after fried fracas street vendors complained the men had manhandled and abused them during a shoot of the Hollywood star's latest film. Police said the British bodyguards had been taken into custody after receiving complaints about an incident at a Mumbai open market.

Angry street vendors of the popular fried pigeon heads on a stick, smothered in a curry chutney, had said the guards had threatened them and called them "bloody Indians" when the vendors tried to close their carts and end business for the day. The film crew admitted that there had been some confusion at the market after the guards had gotten a taste of "fried winged rat head," or Fracas in Punjabi.

"Being from the UK, they've never tasted anything so flavourful," Brajesh Singhubnaryalonomon, Mumbai's deputy commissioner of street vendors told TP. He did not give a date for the court hearing, but did add with a smile, "We'll give them plenty of fracas in jail."

Interestingly, Webster's English-to-Punjabi dictionary alternately defines "fracas" as fried curried pigeon heads and as anal gang rape.
