The tennis player had lodged a complaint against the coach, identified as Gaurang Nalwaya, on Monday night for allegedly raping her on pretext of selecting her for the national tournament, and police swung into action to apprehend the accused, who was absconding.
"We caught him from somewhere near his house," 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.
