French Tourist Allegedly Assaulted by Guide in India

French Tourist Allegedly Assaulted by Tour Guide in Tiruvannamalai

 

A French woman on a spiritual pilgrimage in Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, was allegedly sexually assaulted by a local tour guide who misled her under the pretext of meditation. Authorities have identified and arrested the accused, 42-year-old Venkatesan, a resident of Tiruvannamalai town.

According to police reports, the woman, who is in her 40s, had arrived in the temple town in January and was staying at a private lodge while visiting various ashrams and pilgrimage sites. During her stay, she encountered Venkatesan, who convinced her that meditating on Arunachala Hill would provide spiritual enlightenment.

On Monday, the accused allegedly took the woman to a restricted area of the hill, maintained by the Forest Department, claiming it was an ideal location for meditation. It was there that the assault reportedly took place. The woman raised an alarm, attracting the attention of devotees and passersby on the Girivalam path, a pilgrimage route around the sacred hill. With their assistance, she managed to escape and subsequently contacted the French Consulate in Chennai.

Following the formal complaint lodged by the consulate with Tiruvannamalai Superintendent of Police M. Sudhakar, the case was registered at the All Women Police Station in the town.

“We immediately formed special teams to identify the suspect. Multiple witnesses reported seeing the victim ascending the hill with a local man. Our investigation initially focused on five individuals who commonly work as tour guides. The victim later identified Venkatesan during a police lineup,” an official statement said.

Upon being alerted to the incident, authorities facilitated the victim’s medical examination at the Government Medical College Hospital in Tiruvannamalai.

Tiruvannamalai, known for its historic Annamalaiyar Temple and the ashram of revered sage Ramana Maharishi, is a renowned spiritual destination attracting thousands of visitors annually, particularly from Western countries. The town, much like Puducherry, is popular among foreigners who engage in extended stays for meditation and yoga practice.

Law enforcement officials confirmed that Venkatesan is in police custody and further investigations are underway to determine if he has been involved in similar offenses in the past.

Kendriya Vidyalaya Teacher Dies by Suicide

Kendriya Vidyalaya Teacher Dies by Suicide; Husband and Father-in-Law Arrested in Dowry Case

Ghaziabad police have arrested the husband and father-in-law of a 31-year-old Kendriya Vidyalaya teacher who allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Vasundhara. The arrests, made on Monday, followed a dowry harassment complaint filed by the woman’s family.

The incident occurred around 1:30 PM on Sunday when the woman, identified as Anvita Sharma, was alone at home. Her husband, Dr. Gaurav Kaushik, and their four-year-old son were not present at the time. Shortly before her death, Anvita sent a message to her brother, Amit Sharma, along with a suicide note. “I love you, bhai. Please forgive me and take care of everyone,” read her final message.

Amit stated that Anvita had been facing marital difficulties since shortly after her marriage to Kaushik in 2019. “There were frequent disputes, and we had advised her to consider divorce. However, Kaushik convinced her to reconcile,” he claimed.

According to Abhishek Shrivastava, ACP, Indirapuram, a one-and-a-half-page suicide note was recovered from the scene. “She was declared dead at the hospital, following which the police were informed. The suicide note was found at the location,” he said.

The note reportedly stated, “Sorry, I cannot tolerate this anymore, so I am leaving this world. My husband wanted a beautiful wife who could manage all household chores and also earn money. I did everything I could, yet he always found fault. In every argument, he would taunt me and my family… that he earns more than all of us. He did not allow me to pursue further studies after marriage and had access to all my accounts. He married my job, not me.”

Anvita’s father, Anil Sharma, alleged that he had spent approximately ₹26 lakh on the wedding. “We sensed their family’s greed when they initially demanded a vehicle. I was hesitant, but later, I decided to gift it to my daughter. However, it was registered in Kaushik’s name,” he said.

Since October 2019, Anvita had been working as a Fine Arts teacher at Kendriya Vidyalaya in Delhi’s Dallupura.

Following the complaint, an FIR was registered against Gaurav Kaushik, his father Surendra Sharma, and his mother Manju under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including:

  • Section 85 – Cruelty by husband or relatives
  • Section 80(2) – Dowry death
  • Section 115(2) – Voluntarily causing hurt
  • Section 352 – Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace
    Additionally, charges under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 have been included.

The investigation is ongoing.
