Tuesday, Dec 10, 2013
PANAJI, India - Police in the holiday state of Goa said
they had arrested an Indian yoga teacher on Tuesday accused of raping one of
his students, a 33-year-old German tourist.
Krishna Sharma, a 36-year-old from northern Uttar Pradesh state, was
arrested in the morning at Goa airport as he was trying to leave, police
inspector Tushar Vernekar told AFP.
He is alleged to have raped the German woman in her guesthouse on Monday
night.
Vernekar, quoting the complaint, said the pair had met at Anjuna beach in
north Goa for a party. The accused afterwards offered to drop the woman at her
guesthouse about 15 kilometres (9 miles) away, where she says he raped her.
Police said an investigation was under way.
The arrest comes after Goan police last month arrested the editor of
India's leading investigative news magazine, facing a possible rape charge that
could see him jailed for 10 years, after a complaint from a colleague.
The issue of sexual harassment in India has been receiving widespread media
attention since the fatal gang-rape of student in the capital New Delhi a year
ago, which sparked angry protests across the country over violence towards
women.
A survey in April found the number of foreign female tourists visiting
India had dropped by 35 per cent over a three month period following the
gang-rape and a spate of other sex attacks.
