Preliminary investigation revealed that the room was booked online by using fake Aadhaar card.
Rautela has acted in films like Singh Saab the Great, Sanam Re, and Kaabil.
Notably, hotels generally ask for a guest's identity proof while booking the room.
Aadhaar card, issued by the UIDAI, carries a 12-digit unique identification number. It acts as a proof of a person's identity and address.
