The complainant has told the police that the accused allegedly raped her in a hotel on Thursday night and then repeated the act last night, he said.
She has also alleged that the accused did not allow her to leave the hotel, though she was scheduled to fly back to Delhi on Sunday.
The official added that the two, who are colleagues and have known each other since 2010, were staying in separate rooms in the hotel.
