Kerala: Orthopedic surgeon arrested for alleged sexual harassment of woman

The Medical Dialogues had earlier reported a similar story where a Rajkot-based woman doctor was reported to have been raped by a doctor from Ahmedabad. The accused was booked for his action after a complaint was filed by the victim. Nearly two months ago, it came to light that the number of rape cases has increased in Gujarat by 15 % in 2021 receiving two complaints every day and one complaint every day in Ahmedabad. 

In the above story, the accused was friends with the victim when they were students. The police had stated that while being in the relationship, the accused had promised to marry her. However, later at the end of their relationship, he backtracked from his promise. This led the woman to eventually file a complaint within Ahmedabad but was later transferred to Rajkot as the crime was reported to have been committed in Rajkot hotel. 

Further, the complainant had said that she was raped in hotels as well as at the doctor's house. The hostels in which the survivor was forced are situated in Rajkot and Jamnagar.
