India, Aug. 24 -- A 48-year-old gymnastics coach, who was recently honoured with the prestigious Dronacharya Award, has been booked by the police for allegedly molesting a 16-year-old student of a Parle college on Friday. The girl, in her complaint, told the police that while she was studying at home in the morning, she received a WhatsApp message saying 'Hi' from the coach. She replied with a 'Hi' and told her mother about the interaction.

The mother asked her daughter to check with the coach why he had messaged her. The coach then messaged, "Where are you? If you are free, come meet me at the gymnasium." Assuming he had some work with her, the girl, who has been studying gymnastics for years, replied, "I am at home. I will come, Sir."...
