Dehradun, The Uttarakhand police chief said on Saturday that the 19-year-old receptionist, whose body was found in the Chila canal, was being pressurized by the resort owner to provide “special service” to the guests. Director General of Police Ashok Kumar said that this information has come to the fore from the chat held by this girl with a friend.
Earlier a Facebook friend of the receptionist allegedly said that her friend was murdered because she refused to have sex with the guests. According to this friend, the owner of the resort where she worked had asked her to do so.
The receptionist was allegedly killed by the owner of the resort and two of his other employees. This resort belongs to the son of a BJP leader. Before the girl’s body was found, her parents had lodged a complaint that she had been missing since Monday.
The girl’s (Facebook) friend reportedly said that on the night her friend was murdered, he called her and told that she was in “trouble”. According to reports, the victim had told her friend that the owner and manager of the resort was forcing her to have sex with the guests who came to the resort.
According to a Facebook friend, there was no contact with the receptionist at 8:30 pm. According to her, when she could not be contacted even after repeated attempts, she called the owner of the resort Pulkit Arya who told her that she had gone to her room to sleep.
According to a Facebook friend, when he allegedly called Arya again the next day, his phone was still switched off. Then she called the manager of the resort Ankit who said that he was in the gym.
According to a Facebook friend, he then spoke to the cook of the resort who told him that he had not seen the girl that day. Resort owner Pulkit Arya, resort manager Saurabh Bhaskar and assistant manager Ankit Gupta were arrested on Friday and sent to 14-day judicial custody.
Pulkit Arya, the main accused in the case, is the son of Haridwaj’s BJP leader Vinod Arya. Vinod Arya has been the President of Uttarakhand Mati Kala Board. On Friday, when the accused were being taken to the court in Kotdwar, an angry mob attacked the police vehicle. The mob broke the glass of the car and beat up the three accused. Some women in the crowd demanded that the accused be hanged.
In Bhogpur, people pelted stones on the resort in protest and broke the panes of its windows. Taking action late on Friday night, the administration started demolishing the resort. He said it was made ‘illegally’. The body of the receptionist was recovered from the Chila canal on Saturday morning. The alleged killers had thrown him in this.
