Massive Traffic Jam Outside Jaipur Hotel As Couple Forgets To Draw Curtains Of Room Before...
Last Updated: The incident, reportedly from Jaipur, attracted immediate public attention and created a commotion at the scene. A video showing a couple engaged in an intimate moment inside a hotel room has gone viral, drawing mixed reactions across social media. Reportedly filmed at a five-star property in Jaipur, the footage appears to have been captured by a passerby through a window with open curtains. The clip, widely circulated online, has raised concerns over privacy violations and voyeurism, even as some users criticised the couple for a lack of discretion. The individual who filmed and posted the video remains unidentified, but the incident has sparked a heated debate over personal boundaries, consent and digital ethics. Although the faces of the couple, reportedly staying at Jaipur's Holiday Inn near 22 Godown, are not clearly visible in the video, their actions leave little doubt about what was taking place. The footage also captures a crowd gathered outside the hotel, abusing the couple, indicating that the incident attracted immediate public attention and created a commotion at the scene. As soon as the video started circulating, people on the Internet were left divided over the sharing of such content. While some stated that the couple should have kept the scene behind curtains for their privacy and out of decency, others called out the passersby for recording the video illegally. A section of users even criticised the hotel for not ensuring their customers' privacy. One wrote, 'A video of a couple's private moments recorded from the street at Jaipur's Holiday Inn hotel went viral, creating a stir. This is a violation of privacy, which may be illegal under Indian law (such as IPC Section 354C). Some believe that the couple should have been careful, but recording and sharing is unethical. The hotel's responsibility is also in question, such as the arrangement of curtains. This incident highlights the challenges of privacy in the digital age." Another added, 'They are doing it in a hotel and not on any highway. Those making such videos must face legal action." A user contradicted the same with, 'They left the curtains open. Didn't you see it? Why do hotels provide curtains? This is their own mistake, as they should have paid attention to the curtains." 'It is immoral to post such private moments of a couple, even if they were careless. They were doing this in a hotel room and not on the road. Imagine someone posting a video from your bedroom with your wife," another comment read. Amid the back-and-forth comments over the now-viral clip, it is yet to be seen if any action will be taken against the circulation of the clip. About the Author Buzz Staff First Published:

Lokayukta SIT gets court rap for making accused witnesses
BENGALURU: Special Court for Lokayukta Cases on Thursday castigated Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing illegal mining for making the accused witnesses for reasons known only to them. Philip J Jacob, the proprietor of M/s Amalgiris, allegedly exported 13,400 MT ore to China from Belekeri port out of 14,483 MT purchased by him. But except accused No.1 (G B Shivakumar, proprietor of M/s GBS Transports) and 2 (G S Gopala Krishna, partner of M/s Balaji Roadlines), who are the first purchasers, the rest are not the accused in the case despite the existence of sufficient material to reveal their prima facie involvement in committing the alleged offences, said KM Radhakrishna, Judge, Special Court for Lokayukta Cases. The SIT registered the crime in 2015 against Jacob, who has been made a witness in the charge sheet now, and unknown government officers, officials and private individuals under the provisions of IPC, Prevention of Corruption Act, Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulations) Act, on the charges of exporting iron ore 38,300 MT illegally from Belekeri port to M/s Devi Trading Company Limited in China, in 2009 and illegally gained Rs 4.72 crore and caused crores of rupees loss to the state's exchequer. Noting that there are no reasons to cite them (the accused) as prosecution witnesses instead of accused persons, the court noted that when the entire transaction in respect of stolen 39,861 MT of iron ore is alleged to be illegal, such illegality and the transportation of the ore from one destination to another is highly impossible, in the absence of active participation or cooperation by the officers and officials from departments of mines and geology, forest, commercial tax, transport authority, port and customs authority including the service providers, the court said.
