The police have arrested two poeple, including a woman, for allegedly sexually assaulting two women who attended classes at a police training academy in Nalasopara near Mumbai, an official said.
The arrests were made by the Mira Bhayandar-Vasai Virar police on Wednesday based on a complaint filed by the women, he said.
"The accused, Samadhan Gawade, runs a police training academy at Nalasopara. The two women were undergoing training at the institute," the official from the Nalasopara police station said.
It came to light that Gawade allegedly sexually assaulted them inside the classroom and the woman helped him by providing information about the women, he said.
