The accused identified as Gaurav Gupta (36) was arrested immediately, police said.
"The 26-year-old victim, along with her two friends, had just boarded an auto rickshaw near Shreeji Hotel this evening (when) Gupta touched her inappropriately," said Nasir Pathan, senior inspector at the Oshiwara police station.
The woman raised the alarm, which was heard by some constables on duty near a mall there. Two of the constables then set out in the direction in which the accused had fled and nabbed him at a distance.
The victim has been staying in the city for the past one year, police said.
She is on a tourist visa here and works as an extra in Bollywood films, they said.
