Goa:
A yoga teacher in Goa has been arrested for allegedly raping one of his students, a 33-year-old German tourist.
Krishna Sharma, a 36-year-old from Uttar Pradesh, was arrested in the morning at the airport as he was trying to leave, police inspector Tushar Vernekar said.
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 away, where she says he raped her.
Police said an investigation was under way.
A survey in April found the number of foreign female tourists visiting India had dropped by 35 percent over a three month period following last December's fatal gang-rape of a Delhi student and a spate of other sexual crimes.
