In Bengaluru, a Canadian woman has made serious allegations of sexual harassment against a massage therapist at a well-known hotel. According to her, the incident occurred during a massage session at the hotel located within the jurisdiction of the Vidhana Soudha police station. The woman claims that the therapist not only inappropriately touched her but also opened the room door while she was in a semi-nude state, which left her feeling mentally distressed. The event's nature has prompted a police investigation, and she is seeking justice.

The victim reported that she paid ₹10,000 for the massage, out of which ₹7,000 was returned by the hotel management after the incident. She alleges that she was advised to remain silent about the ordeal, undermining her distress and situation. After feeling ignored by the hotel management, she reached the local police station to file a complaint, questioning the role of the hotel staff and management in this unfortunate incident. This situation brings to light concerns regarding safety and protocol in hotels, particularly concerning their spa services.

The police have initiated an investigation into the matter, but details regarding the specific actions being taken remain scant. The situation raises important questions about the accountability of hotels in cases of misconduct by their employees and the seriousness with which complaints from guests are taken by hotel management. The broader implications could lead to calls for stricter regulations in the hospitality industry regarding the safety of guests, especially in private and sensitive services such as spa therapies.
