The accused, 28-year-old Nitesh More, attached to the Khar branch of Leena Mogre’s gymnasium, was arrested after a first information report (FIR) was lodged against him by the 31-year-old victim, police officials added.
According to the complainant, the incident took place on November 4 inside the gymnasium.
“The victim told us that while working out at the gym she felt More was trying to touch her. After a while, he touched her inappropriately. She reported the matter to the owner of the gymnasium but in vain,” Sanjay Surve, Inspector at the Khar Police Station said.
The complainant then left for South Africa along with her husband to attend a family wedding.
She returned on November 29, following which she enquired if any action was taken against the trainer. But she learnt that no action was taken, Surve said.
Finally, she approached the Khar police on Monday and lodged a complaint, the police officer said, adding that subsequently, the accused was arrested.
