Swiss woman raped in Pushkar ,Rajasthan. Incredibly unsafe India???

• Within days of a 40-year-old British journalist alleging she was raped by the owner of a guest house in Udaipur on December 23, a Swiss tourist has made a similar accusation: That she was sexually assaulted by a hotel-owner in Pushkar, Rajasthan.

• The Swiss woman, in her late 20s, has said in her FIR filed with the Pushkar police that Nanu Rawat, the owner of Nanu Garden Restaurant and Hotel, raped her about a week ago in one of the rooms. She alleges that Rawat first tried to molest her while she was asleep, and then raped her even as her friend from Canada was sleeping in the same room. The tourist, a singer by profession, had come to Pushkar about a month ago.

• Agra has reported a number of cases of rape and sexual assault on tourists since September last year.

• Minister Ambika Soni has called a high-level meeting of state tourism secretaries on January 24 to try and find a solution to this serious law and order problem. Recently, Union Tourism Secretary S. Banerjee wrote to all state governments, reminding them of the ministry’s earlier recommendation to deploy special police at popular tourist sites.
