The incident occurred around 12.30 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Saturday, when the Brazilian football team was departing after a friendly match in the city. The victims, who were cheering for the Brazil team in the hotel lobby, alleged that unknown miscreants touched them inappropriately, outraging their modesty. The police arrested Palash Ray, a 56-year-old resident of Noida, from a hotel room after the victims lodged an FIR at Pragati Maidan Police Station on Sunday morning. The case was registered under Section 74 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. This development follows another arrest of a man from a JW Marriott hotel discotheque on September 27 for allegedly sexually harassing a woman.",
