1. According to the police, the accused attacked and injured all 5 tourists and sexually assaulted 2 women. The group had been enjoying music near the lake at night when 3 men arrived on a bike and asked for directions to a petrol pump.
2. Since the owner of the homestay was a local woman, she informed them that there was no petrol pump nearby. The accused then demanded petrol and later started asking for money. When the tourists refused to pay, the situation escalated, and the accused began to harass the tourists.
3. During the altercation, the accused pushed all 3 male tourists into a nearby canal. While Daniel and Pankaj managed to swim to safety, Bibas, the tourist from Odisha, drowned. The other 2 were injured and are currently receiving treatment at a private hospital, according to the police.
4. 6 teams have been formed to investigate the crime. “We have taken immediate action following the woman’s complaint, and the accused will be arrested soon,” assured the police.
