Hotel staff forges ID of rape survivor, booked

Rajkot: The receptionist of a hotel was booked on Tuesday night for allegedly forging documents to conceal the identity of a rape survivor in order to help the accused in the crime in Jamnagar.
Police said Manish Vasara used to allegedly forge the ID of the rape survivor by registering the ID proofs of other women.
The rape accused, Wasim Makrani (24), who was arrested last month for allegedly raping a 16-year-old girl four times had sought the help of Vasara. “Whenever Makrani took the survivor to the hotel on Bus Stand Road in Jamnagar, Vasara would register other woman’s names and photographs instead of the survivor in the hotel’s register. However, Makrani would submit his original ID proof. When we interrogated Makrani, he said that as Vasara was his friend he would commit the forgery after taking money from him,” said V K Ratia, sub-inspector with Jamnagar A division police station.According to the details recorded in the hotel’s register, Makrani had taken the rape survivor four times and had allegedly raped her. “We have booked Vasara for the crime and launched a manhunt for him,” added Ratia. Makrani used to work as a trainer at a gym on Digvijay Plot on Bus Stand Road in Jamngar.
