Four persons, including the son and wife of a hotel owner, were arrested tonight in connection with the alleged rape of a Japanese tourist in Pushkar.
The arrested included Babloo, whose father owns Hotel Quiet Palace, Roshani, the wife of the owner, Raju and Sanjay, Ajmer superintendent of police Sriniwas Janga Rao said.
The arrest of the four followed 10 hours of questioning of the Japanese woman in Ajmer, where she was taken from Agra, by a team of officers.
The foreigner had alleged that she was raped and then robbed of Rs 54,000 after being drugged by the son of the hotel owner in Pushkar on April 2.
Police are looking into a claim by the accused that Babloo had wanted to marry the woman. But the police in Agra, who traced the 24-year-old woman to a guesthouse-cum-restaurant near the Taj complex area, think this might be a ploy to dilute the rape allegations.
