In a fresh twist to the row over an upscale Goa bar that the Congress has linked with Union Minister Smriti Irani's daughter, the district administration has issued a notice to the local village panchayat seeking relevant documents in response to a complaint alleging the outlet was built illegally.

"Silly Souls Café and Bar" at Assagao village in North Goa is at the centre of an ownership row ever since the Congress alleged it was operated illegally by Irani's daughter, a claim denied by the Union minister who has filed a defamation suit against leaders of the opposition party.
