Jamshedpur, May 10: Tension prevailed on Sunday morning at a resort near Dimna Lake after villagers alleged that immoral activities, including prostitution, were being carried out on the premises.
Angry residents stormed the Lake View Resort located in Gerua village under Bota Panchayat in Bodam police station area and reportedly found three young couples in objectionable condition inside separate rooms.

The incident occurred around 10.30 am, triggering a major commotion in the area.
Villagers claimed that unethical activities had been taking place at the resort for the past six months and that repeated complaints had been made to local authorities, but no concrete action was taken. Frustrated by the alleged inaction, a large number of residents gathered at the resort and staged a protest.
During the unrest, resort manager Santosh Giri was allegedly assaulted by the agitated crowd before police intervened and rescued him.
