“We have issued notice to Delhi Police seeking an action taken report in the matter. The Commission has sought the details of action taken against the hotel. The Commission has also asked whether the manager/owner of the hotel has been arrested or not. The Commission has also sought the details of association of any aggregator with the hotel,” said the official.
