The assistant coach of a Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC)-run sports complex at Mulund West has been arrested for molesting a 10-year-old there. The girl was learning badminton and had joined a month back.

The incident took place on July 10. The police said the head coach asked the assistant coach to practise with the kids and accused Nilesh Dhindle, 24, was showing the girls how to serve. Police said while doing this, he pinched the girl and touched her inappropriately. Shocked, she immediately ran away and waited till training was over.
