Piyush SrivastavaLucknow: The security guard of a park near the Taj Mahal allegedly locked a Swiss couple and their guide in for half an hour on Wednesday, accusing them of entering the park forcibly after the 5pm closing hour. "While we were inside the park, the guard locked its gates and wouldn't let us leave for about half an hour," the police quoted the tourist as saying. He told reporters he and the couple had entered the park before 5pm, but the guard was still reluctant to let them in and later locked the gates. Upadhyaya told reporters. Two months ago, police had registered a non-cognisable report when another Swiss couple were attacked at Fatehpur Sikri, 35km from Agra, after rebuffing a group of youths who were stalking them.
