A
German tourist who checked into an Agra hotel complained to police that
the manager of the hotel attempted to molest her, and had taken pictures
as she changed her clothes.
In another incident, a 13-year-old was kidnapped and raped, and then abandoned on the city's outskirts.
The inspector of the tourism police station told TOI that the 22-year-old tourist complained that Hari Om, manager of the hotel in which she was staying, had attempted to force himself on her.
The woman complained that Hari Om had also shot pictures of her as she changed her clothes.
SP Ram Suresh Yadav said the 28-year-old manager has been arrested, and is being interrogated. No video clip or pictures of the girl have yet been recovered.
In the second such crime reported today, a 13-year-old girl, a student of class VIII from Tedhi Bagiya was gang-raped by local goons on Saturday, after being kidnapped in an autorickshaw.
The girl was found semi-conscious, lying abandoned in bushes on the city's outskirts on Saturday night.
The girl's family had lodged a complaint in the Chatta police
station on Sunday morning. The victim's father said the police took the complaint casually. Only when the family approached the DIG was a complaint lodged against two accused, Sonu and Shahrukh.
The inspector of the Chatta police station said that while Sonu was arrested from his home on Monday, a search has been launched for Shahrukh.
A 14-year-old girl studying in class IX was raped in Agra on Friday.
The frequent instances of rape and molestation have people wondering whether severe punishment for such crimes serves as a deterrent.
Psychiatrist Vipul Shah said,"It is sad that in our country women are unsafe, whether teenage girls or foreign tourists. No punishment or penalty will help. The upbringing of men in Indian homes must change."
