Police arrest man accused of stalking Sania Mirza

CHENNAI, India: Police have arrested a man accused of stalking the country`s top-ranked woman tennis player, Sania Mirza, local media reported on Thursday. The man was arrested near 22-year-old Mirza`s residence in Hyderabad on Tuesday night after her father lodged a complaint that she had been receiving obscene mobile text messages, the Times of India said, quoting an unnamed police official. Mirza, currently ranked 86th in the world, became a youth icon in a nation starved of sporting success when she became the first Indian to win a WTA tour title and break into the world`s top-50 in 2005. She was set to be engaged to her 23-year-old fiancee Sohrab Mirza on Friday, the paper said.
