A youth was arrested for allegedly making threatening calls to tennis star Sania Mirza and creating nuisance at her residence here demanding to cancel her engagement, police said on Wednesday.

Ashraf went to Sania's house at Banjara Hills here last night and reportedly had an argument with her father asking him to cancel Sania's engagement stating that he was in love with Sania, a senior police officer said.
"We had already put up a police picket at Sania's house after her father's complaint. Ashraf was arrested after he created nuisance at their house," he said.
