In a distressing turn of events, 500 girl students hailing from Katra, Jammu Kashmir, encountered a disturbing experience during their educational tour in Mumbai.

The students, who were on an educational excursion, faced a series of alarming incidents during their stay at the Royal Palms Hotel in Goregaon.

Professor Rajesh Singh, who accompanied the students, shed light on the unsettling conditions they encountered.

The hotel, infamous due to previous incidents involving a sex racket and recent police raids, provided inadequate facilities and failed to maintain even basic hygiene standards.

Reports emerged that the hotel rooms were unclean, with stained sheets and unsatisfactory amenities, leaving the girls dismayed and distressed.

The situation escalated during dinner when the hotel staff seemingly orchestrated a deliberate power outage, plunging the dining area into darkness for nearly half an hour.

Investigations revealed the deliberate cutting of power aimed at evacuating individuals allegedly involved in suspicious activities, leading to a confrontation between the girls and the hotel staff.

Amidst the chaos, an employee attempted to record the commotion, prompting the girls to confiscate the device, uncovering nude images on the staff member’s phone, further intensifying the heated situation.

Professor Singh expressed deep concern over the appalling experience faced by the students, emphasizing the need for better accommodation and safety measures during educational tours to prevent such distressing incidents.

This disturbing sequence of events highlights the urgent need for stringent regulations and stringent vetting of accommodations for students’ safety and well-being during educational trips, Professor Singh said.

Authorities have been called upon to investigate and address this alarming situation, ensuring the safety and security of students undertaking educational tours.
