A tennis coach at Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Stadium was arrested on Tuesday on costs of raping a 17-year-old participant, police officers mentioned.
The tennis participant had lodged a criticism in opposition to the coach, recognized as Gaurang Nalwaya, on Monday night time for allegedly raping her on pretext of choosing her for the nationwide match, and police swung into motion to apprehend the accused, who was absconding.
“We caught him from someplace close to his home,” Jyoti Nagar police station SHO Saroj Dhayal told IANS.
The victim, in her complaint, alleged that Nalwaya used to call her at the stadium for training and had sexually assaulted her then.
He allegedly raped her in Udaipur too where the player went for a tournament.
Soon after returning from Udaipur, the player was quite upset. Her worried parents asked her the reason and then she revealed her traumatic experiences.
Her parents took her to Jyoti Nagar police station where a case was lodged against the coach.
“A case has been registered against the coach under POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) and other relevant sections under the Indian Penal Code,” Dhayal mentioned.
Nalwaya was serving on the state government-run facility since 2012 whereas the minor began her coaching there in 2019.
