Solution

The correct options are
B Ashok
C Kevin
Prostitution is a criminal offense, 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 who the crime was perpetrated. The duration will depend on the severity of the crime, and may vary between 7 years to lifetime 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.

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.

It was as clear as daylight then that burglars had forced an entry in her absence. Her first impulse was to go round all the rooms looking for the thieves, but then she decided that at her age it might be more prudent to have someone with her, so she went to fetch the porter from the basement. 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.
