What happened

Major Gogoi detained by police, later released

Major Gogoi was detained by the police and later sent to his unit- the Rashtriya Rifles.

The row erupted when the hotel staff, who thought the girl was a minor, didn't allow her to go to Major Gogoi's room, along with the man.

Hotel owner Manzoor Ahmed said, "According to our hotel policy we don't provide rooms to local unmarried couples."

Probe findings

Investigation revealed woman went to hotel willingly

The woman's mother claimed her daughter was 17, a minor, but police investigation revealed otherwise.

However, a senior police officer said the woman was above 18 and went to the hotel willingly.
