A 22-year-old NRI, working as a software engineer for Google on contract basis, has been arrested for allegedly molesting a US woman in a five-star hotel in New Delhi, police said on Friday.
Police said Anmol Singh Kharbanda met and struck a conversation with the 52-year-old woman at the hotel bar around 10 p.m. on January 8.
“Kharbanda, a California-based Non-Resident Indian, met the victim in the lounge and introduced himself to her. He offered her drinks and a smoke in his hotel room,” Additional Commissioner of Police B. K Singh.
“Kharbanda took her to his room and groped her. She pushed him away and ran out,” Singh said.
The shocked victim, staying in another room of the hotel, locked herself in for the entire night. She complained against Kharbanda to the Chanakyapuri police station and hotel security. The accused has since been sent to judicial custody.
Last week, Federal authorities in Michigan had arrested a 34-year-old man after a woman said that he sexually assaulted her on an overnight flight when she fell asleep next to him.
