The 37-year-old tourist has alleged she was raped by Nanu Rawat, owner of Nanu Garden Restaurant, in Pushkar in Ajmer district, over 145 km from here, a week ago.
In her first information report (FIR) filed with the Pushkar police station on Saturday, she alleged that Rawat raped her in one of the rooms of his hotel in front of her friend.
The tourist, a singer by profession, has got dual citizenship of France and Switzerland and had come to Pushkar about a month ago.
The police have arrested the hotel owner.
“We arrested the man on Saturday after a complaint was filed by the Swiss tourist. Further investigations are on,” a police official told IANS Sunday.
