Radisson Blu Ordered to Pay Rs 15,000 to Retired IPS Officer Trapped in Hotel Bathroom
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Chandigarh ordered Radisson Blu Hotel, Gorakhpur, to pay Rs 15,000 to retired IPS officer Alok Kumar Roy after he was trapped in a hotel bathroom for over an hour due to a lock malfunction. Roy, who suffers from chronic health issues, experienced stress and anxiety during the incident, which delayed his arrival at a function by more than three hours. The hotel admitted fault but did not appear before the Commission, which proceeded ex parte and issued the order for compensation.
