Rising Crime Concerns in Himachal Pradesh as Police Investigate Shocking Kasol Hotel Incident 

The alarming rise in crimes like murder and robbery in Himachal Pradesh is becoming a significant challenge for law enforcement. Local police often find themselves at a disadvantage when crimes are committed by travelers or tourists who leave the state before investigations can be completed, creating hurdles for authorities.

A recent chilling case in Kullu’s Kasol village has intensified these concerns. The Himachal Pradesh Police have registered a murder case against two youths, who are now absconding, following the discovery of a 23-year-old woman’s body in the reception area of a hotel on a late Saturday night. The deceased, identified as a Punjab native, had reportedly been staying at the hotel since January 10 with two male companions from Bathinda district in Punjab.

According to eyewitness accounts, the hotel receptionist and two staff members were dining at around 12:30 am when they noticed the youths descending the stairs carrying the unconscious woman. When questioned, the men claimed that she had fainted after consuming alcohol and falling in the bathroom. They insisted they were taking her to a hospital and asked for directions.

However, when the receptionist suggested involving the hotel management and staff, the youths placed the woman’s body on the floor and fled the premises in their SUV, which bore a Punjab registration number. The hotel staff found the woman’s body cold to the touch and immediately contacted the police.

Upon arrival, the police transported the woman to a hospital, where she was declared dead on arrival. Medical personnel noted the presence of white foam around her mouth, raising suspicions about the circumstances of her death.

Kullu ASP Sanjeev Chauhan confirmed that statements from hotel staff have been recorded. “Both accused fled the scene, and we have set up roadblocks to apprehend them. An investigation is underway to determine the full details and establish the identity of the deceased,” he stated.

Authorities are diligently working to locate and detain the absconding suspects while exploring every angle of the case to uncover the truth behind this tragic incident. As cases like this continue to surface, there is growing concern over the safety of residents and tourists alike, prompting calls for heightened vigilance and strengthened law enforcement measures across Himachal Pradesh.
