Solution

The correct option is C Kevin
Prostitution is a criminal offence, and any person participating in such activities, if found guilty, will face imprisonment.
So, both Ashok and Kevin would face criminal charges. Kashif rescued her from the brothel, so he would be the witness, while Lasya would be the victim against whom the crime was perpetrated. The duration will depend on the severity of the crime and may vary between 7 years to life imprisonment. The police officer has the liberty to enter the premises or investigate the case without any warrant. The sub-inspector may enter the place where the victims are kept. The victims need to undergo medical checks. This is to determine the degree of abuse before being produced in front of the police officer or Magistrate.

In the lift, her thoughts were on lunch and a good rest but when she got out at her own floor, both were forgotten in her sudden discovery that her front door was open. She was thinking that she must reprimand her maid the next morning for such a monstrous piece of negligence, when she remembered that she had gone shopping after her maid had left and she had turned both the keys in their locks. She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were opened, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out. Looking into the drawing room, she saw a scene of confusion over by her writing desk.

By this time her legs were beginning to tremble, so she sat down and accepted a cup of very strong tea, while she telephoned the police. Then her composure regained, she was ready to set-off with the porter’s assistance to search for any intruders who might be still lurking in her flat.
