Couple’s hotel stay under lens
Police should be informed if any young girl and boy come to stay without any bags
Ahmedabad: In a move that may trigger a controversy, the city police commissioner on Monday directed the owners of hotels and guest-houses to inform the local police if a young couple occupies a room for less than two hours.
“If a young girl and boy come to stay in a room without any bags and if they leave in two hours or less, then the concerned police station will have to be informed immediately,” says a notification issued by police commissioner Shivanand Jha.
“Their contact details like the cell-phone number and residential address should also be given to the police,” it added. Two recent crimes in hotel rooms — gangrape of a girl and murder of a girl by her boyfriend — prompted this directive, according to the commissioner.
