Jaipur hotel denies room to inter-faith couple
Muslim man and Hindu woman accuse a Jaipur based Oyo hotel of discrimination they are denied permission to check in due to their different religious backgrounds.

When the man insisted that there was no law against people from different religions sharing a room, the hotel authorities allegedly claimed that they were merely following instructions issued by the local police. However, they refused to give this in writing to the complainant.
Shocked, at the response of the hotel, the woman who has been friends with the man for over a decade said, “We are living in the 21st century and I don’t know why people still have this notion of dividing people on the basis of religion.” After being denied permission to check in, the man contacted the booking app which promptly refunded most of his money and even made alternative booking arrangements. However, the man claims these arrangements were not at par with the previous facilities. Meanwhile, Oyo has also initiated an inquiry into the matter and apologised for the incident.
