Kolkata: A female doctor at a private hospital in Kolkata has accused an app-based biker of harassment, alleging that he called her 17 times and sent her explicit videos on WhatsApp after she cancelled a ride because the driver was allegedly late. The driver also allegedly threatened her with dire consequences. 

The accused was arrested within a few hours of the victim filing the complaint.

According to the PTI report, the accused was slapped with different sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for sexual harassment, outraging a woman’s modesty and criminal intimidation, he said.

The doctor, associated with a private medical facility in the southern part of the city’s Jadavpur area, booked the app bike at 8 pm from the hospital.
