Haldwani,,In a major development in the alleged gang-rape case involving a minor in the Mukhani area, police and district administration have intensified their action. Following the arrest of four accused by Nainital Police a day earlier, a joint team of police and administration officials sealed Trishul Homestay on Saturday for its alleged use in connection with the crime.
According to officials, the investigation revealed that a room had been provided to the minor at the homestay without proper identity document verification. The premises were allegedly used for the commission of an offence covered under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act.
Taking serious note of the matter, the joint team sealed the entire homestay premises. Further legal proceedings are also underway regarding the operation of the establishment, alleged violations of prescribed norms and other irregularities.
The incident has raised serious concerns over the functioning of hotels and homestays, particularly regarding mandatory identity verification, maintenance of guest records and the safety of women and minors.
With four accused already arrested, the administration’s latest action has widened the scope of accountability beyond the accused individuals to the establishment allegedly used in the crime.
SSP Nainital Dr. Manjunath T.C. has maintained a strict approach towards crimes against women and children. The police and district administration have reiterated their zero-tolerance policy, stating that strict legal action will be taken not only against those involved in such offences but also against anyone found facilitating or providing premises for criminal activities.
