Udaipur police have arrested three individuals accused of harassing tourists while operating without valid guide licences.
Udaipur police announced the detention of three men who were found operating as tourist guides without the required licences. The arrests were made after complaints from visitors who said the individuals were harassing them during city tours.
The three suspects were apprehended at a popular tourist spot in Udaipur, where they were offering guide services despite lacking the legal authorization mandated by the Rajasthan tourism department.

Authorities emphasized that the crackdown aims to protect the city's reputation as a safe destination for domestic and international travelers, and to ensure that only certified guides provide information and assistance.
