Police Raid in OYO Room? Know Your Rights, Stay Confident!
- •Unmarried couples above 18 years staying in a hotel with mutual consent is not illegal in India, protected by Article 21 (Right to Privacy).
- •Police cannot arrest or file an FIR against consenting adults for merely being in a hotel room; raids are typically for other crimes like prostitution.
- •During a raid, remain calm, open the door, and confidently show your ID proof (Aadhaar, Voter ID) if both partners are majors.
- •You are not obligated to allow police to check your phone without proper legal authority or context, nor can they legally inform your parents if you are an adult.
- •Ensure both individuals are above 18; staying with a minor is a serious crime under the POCSO Act.
Why It Matters: Unmarried adult couples have the right to privacy in hotels; know your rights and stay calm during police raids.
