A gym trainer and his girlfriend have been booked by the Sanathnagar police in Hyderabad for allegedly harassing a woman client who works as a commercial pilot. The accused reportedly pressured the complainant to agree to a 'one-night stand' and sent her vulgar messages on Instagram.
Complaint Filed by Pilot

The fitness manager greeted her daily and suggested separate training sessions.
