According to the police, the woman was secretly filmed around six months ago by Neelesh Sen, who is reportedly 42-years-old, and is a friend of the accused.
Meanwhile, Sen, also a karate coach, was booked in a separate case for allegedly trying to rape another student during training in the college, a senior police officer said.
