A 26-year-old employee of a private firm was arrested by the Mico Layout police for allegedly sexually assaulting a 21-year-old woman, and later abandoning her on a deserted road on June 10.
The woman had come to the city for an internship as part of her academic curriculum and was staying in a paying guest accommodation.
