The incident of molestation and shooting of a female tourist from Thailand in Udaipur, a tourist city in Rajasthan, has shocked the entire country. This is not just a criminal incident, but a direct attack on the ancient guest-culture of India. The country which is known worldwide for the tradition of his hospitality and ‘guest Devo Bhava’, such an act with a foreign guest is worrying and shameful.
What is the whole matter?
The incident took place late Saturday at around 1:30 pm. The 24 -year -old female tourist named Thank Pan Chanok came to India from Thailand and stayed in a hotel in Udaipur. Chanok came to visit India with one of her companions and left the hotel to meet other friends the same night.
During this period, four youths named Rahul Gurjar (25), Akshay Khuchandani (25), Dhruv Suhalka (21) and Mahim Chaudhary (20) were present there, who were in a drunken state. He started obscene acts from Chanok. When Chanok protested, Rahul Gurjar took out the pistol and shot him, which got near his ribs.
There was a stir as soon as the bullet hit
After the incident, the young man got nervous and took the woman to the nearest hospital. However, after this he escaped from the spot. The woman’s condition remains critical and has been referred to the district hospital, where she is still struggling between life and death in the hospital.
Police arrested all four
After the incident, the Udaipur police immediately took action and arrested the four accused. The Superintendent of Police said that the accused were produced in the court, from where they have been sent to jail in judicial custody. The police have registered a case under several sections including tampering, attempt to murder, weapons act.
The spirit of ‘guest Devo Bhava’ shocked
This incident is not only a crime, but also on the identity of India, which we have been coming for centuries. Tourists in India are given the status of God, but when a foreign woman behaves this type, it raises deep questions on both our culture and security system.
Damage to Udaipur’s image
Udaipur, which is famous worldwide for its palaces, lakes and cultural heritage, also gives a negative message to the tourism sector of the state. Foreign tourists can now feel insecure. This can also affect India’s global tourism rankings.
What should happen next?
In this case, there should be severe punishment so that there is an atmosphere of fear among those who commit such crimes. Also, the state government should issue special guidelines for the safety of tourists. Arrangements like CCTV, security guards, women’s helpline will have to be strictly implemented at hotels and tourist destinations.
