Jaipur, January 9: An American tourist on Wednesday alleged that she was molested by a priest at a temple in Pushkar in Rajasthan's Ajmer district.

In her FIR lodged with the Pushkar police station, the 28-year old woman said the priest indulged in eve-teasing and molestation while she was performing puja at Pap-mochani temple on the banks of Pushkar lake on Tuesday, the Circle Officer (CO) Sangram Singh said.

A case of alleged eve-teasing and molestation was lodged against the priest whose name she did not know, the CO said.

The tourist hailing from Oregon in the US had come for pilgrimage in the holy city, he said, adding an investigation was initiated to trace the priest.

On reports of another foreigner woman being allegedly beaten up by locals in Pushkar, Singh said police has not been approached in this regard.
