According to the complaint lodged by the woman, the accused, who met her at the yoga camp on March 7, offered to drop her by his scooty at the hotel where she was staying.
He told her on way to the hotel that he was a professional tour guide and could show her places of tourist interest if she wanted. When she accepted the offer, he took her to a waterfall and allegedly raped her twice, police said.
She somehow freed herself and reported the matter to the police, officials said.
The accused was arrested with the help of CCTV footage obtained from the yoga camp, they said.
