Tight security at hotel
Sunny Sebastian
JAIPUR: Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasrin, who came here on Thursday evening by an Indian Airlines flight from Kolkata, was lodged in a hotel near the State Secretariat.
Director-General of Police A.S. Gill did not disclose the arrangement under which the author was brought here.
Eyewitnesses said the writer, accompanied by a policeman, was ushered into Hotel Shikha, which is popular more with marriage groups than tourists.
Mediapersons outnumbered the security personnel standing outside the three-storey hotel.
As soon Ms. Nasrin entered the hotel, its gates were closed. Police sources said tight security was provided to her.
The State general secretary of the People’s Union for Civil Liberties, Kavita Srivastava, who was one of Ms. Nasrin’s hosts when she visited Jaipur in 2005, said she received an SMS from activists of the APDR (Association for Protection of Democratic Rights) in Kolkata asking her to meet the writer.
‘Here for a function’
Police officials said Ms. Nasrin had come to attend a function but could not specify it.
