The accused has been arrested, and an investigation is underway.
The police said the woman had travelled to McLeodganj with friends and was feeling unwell on Sunday, so she stayed back at the hotel while the others went sightseeing in the area.

The incident has sparked concern about tourist safety and highlighted the need for stricter checks on hotel staff in the area.
