Law or no law, stringent law or then an apology for a stringent law, the madness that seems to have afflicted the Indian male off late continues unabated......
In the latest incident, a 35 year old British national suffered a broken leg, multiple bruises and other superficial injuries while jumping off the balcony of her first/second floor hotel room in Agra in an attempt to escape from the sexual advances made by her by the owner of the same hotel......
The woman in question a British national had arrived in the country almost a week back and was slated to visit quite a few tourist destinations such as Delhi, Agra, Varanasi, Haridwar and so on and so forth during her stay in the country........
She had checked into the Agra Mahal hotel in the city's Rakab Ganj area two days back and was slated to proceed to Varanasi early this morning and had even requested the hotel authorities to wake her up at 5 am in this regard........
To her horror and dismay, the manager of the very same hotel unceremoniously barged into her room at around 3:45 am on the pretext of offering her a complimentary complete body massage, but left when the lady politely but firmly refused his offer.......
She had just recovered from this rude intrusion and just about gathered her senses when she was disturbed by incessant and loud knocking on her hotel door and repeated summons from the hotel owner and a security guard repeating the massage offer made by the manager around 15-20 minutes earlier........
Fearing for her life and safety, the plucky lady jumped off her room's balcony; somehow managed to find an autorickshaw at that unearthly hour and make her way to the nearest police station, the lady was rushed to the Agra civil hospital where tests confirmed that she had indeed broken one of her legs.........
A complaint has been duly registered by the Agra police authorities based upon the version of events narrated by the woman and an attempt to rape and attempt at outraging the modesty of a woman related cases have been filed against the hotel owner Sushil Chauhan who is said to be a Delhi resident........
The wannabe rapist now finds himself cooling his heels in a police lock up and the subject of a police investigation, his ultimate outcome will however be decided by the fast track court before which the case is soon expected to come up for hearing........
Other hotel owners in the area have lamented the fact that such misdeeds will only sound the death knell for an already beleaguered and long suffering hotel industry, 'tourists are already wary of stepping into our country thanks to the advisories issued by their embassies and governments about India being an unsafe country for foreign tourists, such unfortunate incidents will only serve to reinforce this belief and further reduce the number of tourists trickling into the country,' one of them candidly remarks on condition of anonymity............
