A Quintana Roo official, identified as Manuel Bermúdez Montufa, was involved in a brawl outside a nightclub in the municipality of Othón P. Blanco. A video circulating on social media shows the public servant and his companions kicking a person, dressed in black, who is lying on the ground. The incident reportedly occurred last Saturday night outside a club called “Ágora” in Chetumal. While the reasons for the altercation remain unknown, some versions suggest that those involved were intoxicated.
The official in the video has been identified as Manuel Bermúdez Montufa, a member of the Bidding and Document Control department at the State Public Works Secretariat.
The Quintana Roo government has temporarily suspended Manuel Bermúdez after the video of him assaulting a person surfaced on social media. The state authorities have initiated an internal investigation to determine responsibilities and take appropriate actions. However, the duration of the suspension and the type of sanction have not been specified.
