Patna Hotel Hidden Villa Case: A female polytechnic examination aspirant, a resident of Begusarai, had travelled to Patna with her father and checked into Hotel Hidden Villa, located at RPS More in the Rupaspur area. The two were staying in Room No. 103 when, at approximately 12:48 AM on 24 May, a hotel employee identified as Satyendra barged into the room and attempted to forcefully pull the student.
The father woke up and immediately resisted the attack. He began recording the incident on his mobile phone, which caused the accused to flee. The father then called a relative in Patna and dialled emergency number 112. Police reached the spot by 1:15 AM.

Hotel Management Threatened the Victims
When the hotel management came to know that the father had called the police, the hotel owner and staff openly threatened the victim’s family rather than cooperating with them.
What Police Found Inside
A search of the premises revealed alcohol bottles and aphrodisiacs, pointing to illegal activities being run from the hotel. Several young men and two women from West Bengal were also staying at the hotel at the time, with an illegal liquor party reportedly underway on the premises.
