As per a media report in TOI, the incident took place in September 2021 at the private hospital owned by the doctor. The nurse was working alone at the hospital when the doctor allegedly raped her. At the time of the assault, the doctor promised her that he would marry her, due to which the nurse was raped on multiple occasions.
However, the nurse soon discovered that the doctor was married and confronted the doctor. Following this, the doctor blackmailed her, saying that he had her intimate videos and photographs, which he will share publicly to defame her if she took any action against him.
Later, she decided to report the matter to the police and filed a complaint against the doctor on Monday.
According to the police, the accused is absconding and an investigation is underway to nab him soon.
