Jaipur(Rajasthan):A 14-year-old girl of foreign nationality, who was visiting Jaipur along with her family, has initiated legal proceedings against unidentified individuals for reportedly capturing her images without her explicit consent while she was at a hotel situated in the Khas Kothi region of Jaipur.

In that instance, the accused perpetrator was subsequently apprehended by the police.
