When confronted by the receptionist, the accused claimed the victim was his girlfriend. The girl strongly denied the claim, saying, “He is lying. I do not know him. I will call the police.” She later called her family, who took her to Kotwali Sadar police station to file a complaint. Kotwali Inspector Hemant Rai said the accused would be arrested soon and sent to jail, as per a report by Dainik Bhaskar.
