Rape[Istan] - British female tourist jumps from hotel balcony in Agra to escape sexual assault.(NDtv).A British tourist jumped from her hotel room in Agra today, allegedly to avoid being molested by the owner of the hotel.
The 30-year-old jumped from the balcony on the first floor of the Agra Mahal Hotel and is in hospital with head injuries; both her legs are fractured.
The hotel manager and another member of staff at the Hotel Agra Mahal have been charged with harassment and will appear in court later on Wednesday, deputy superintendent of Agra police Swaranjeet told AFP.
"She has spoken to her family in the UK and her mother will be coming here to take her back home," added the police officer, who uses only one name."The girl is much better, she is safe. She is still here."
The woman, in her early 30s, has told police the hotel manager had been pestering her with offers of a massage and then tried to force his way into her room at 04:00 am on Tuesday morning.
The woman had checked into the hotel two days ago.
Just this morning, the UK had revised its advisory to its citizens travelling to India, saying women should be cautious. The advisory cited the recent gang-rape of a Swiss tourist by six men in Madhya Pradesh.
