Bengaluru, Nov 23: A senior official of Air Mauritius has been arrested by the police after a 27-year-old woman executive of the same airline lodged a complaint against him with the Cubbon Park police station in Bengaluru accusing him of trying to sexually assault her at a hotel room.

The accused has been identified as Rajesh Busgeet (55), a resident of Chennai and the regional manager-South India, Air Mauritius.

The police said the incident happened around 9.30 am on Novemebr 18 at Nandhini Paradise hotel close to the Air Mauritius' Bengaluru office on St Mark's Road.

Busgeet had flown in from Chennai to conduct a seminar for his Bengaluru office staff at the hotel, where he was staying.

Soon after breakfast at the seminar that began on Saturday, Busgeet asked the female executive to come to his room as he wanted to discuss some work-related matter with her.

When the woman entered the room, he held her and tried to kiss her, but she pushed him aside and hurried out.

She later related the incident to her colleagues, who were left troubled as the man in question was their regional head. However, by afternoon, the woman mustered courage and lodged a complaint at the Cubbon Park police station.

Police booked Busgeet under IPC Section 354(A) sexual harassment including unwelcome advances or gestures or sexually coloured remarks. As the offence is bailable, the manager secured bail and returned to Chennai, a senior police official said.  Busgeet will present himself when the court hearings initiate, the officer added.
