Indian police have arrested a man in connection with the rape of a 70-year-old French woman in the northern city of Varanasi.
The woman, who has not been identified, was working in the city with a non-governmental organisation.
Police said she was asleep when a security guard at the hotel where she was staying entered her room and attacked her.
The woman is receiving treatment for cuts and bruises, and legal assistance.
Doctors told reporters that the woman was in stable condition and had been visited in hospital by the district magistrate.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
However, brutal sexual attacks against women and children continue to be reported across the country.
