Fake Sabarimala Guest House Booking Website Identified

Fake website deceiving Lord Ayyappa devotees by promising guest house facilities at Sabarimala has been detected, police said on Saturday.

Pathanamthitta Cyber Police registered a case on Friday and launched an investigation into the fake website, officials said. 

According to police, the website came to light when searches on Google for rooms available for booking at Sabarimala were conducted.

The



website--sannidanamguesthouse.in--offered guest house facilities for Ayyappa devotees in Sabarimala, they said. Two mobile phone numbers were provided on the website for booking rooms. 

A police officer said they suspect some devotees may have lost money while attempting to book rooms through the website. 

Upon investigation, police found that one of the numbers belonged to a person named Hamid from Haryana, while efforts are underway to trace the details of the second number.
