Woman alleges sexual assault in Amritsar hotel

In a shocking case, a woman was allegedly sexually assaulted inside a hotel by several men, including her own friend and members of the hotel staff. The victim had reportedly come to visit the holy shrine of Darbar Sahib with a male friend. After completing the visit, the two stopped at a hotel. It was there that the friend called in several acquaintances, who then allegedly committed the crime.

The matter surfaced when a local rickshaw puller found the woman crying. The rickshaw puller informed a group of Nihang Singh. Upon receiving the information, the group’s leader Paramjit Singh Akali reached the spot. He stated that the woman, in a deeply distressed state, told them that she had gone to the hotel of her own will but was betrayed by her friend, who lured her into a trap and handed her over to others.

Paramjit Singh Akali further said that the woman is currently undergoing medical examination. According to her statement, three of the accused were hotel staff members, while the rest were outsiders. Acting on the complaint, the police have launched an investigation and are expected to take further action once the medical report and evidence are reviewed. The police have also rounded up four suspects.
