Ludhiana:50-year-old doctor booked for allegedly molesting two female employees
Ludhiana: Based on the accusation of rape, a 50-year-old doctor-cum-owner of a private hospital has been booked by the police on Friday. The doctor allegedly tried to sexually assault two female employees, but they managed to escape from the spot.
The incident took place when both the female employees faced the same assault by the doctor. One of them age 26, reported that she was a receptionist at the hospital and the doctor would call her in his cabin and sexually assaulted her for the past six months. Thinking of her job she chose to keep her mouth shut. But In February things took a turn when the doctor tried to allegedly rape her but she managed to escape. Unable to bear it any longer, she opened up about the incident to her colleague, knowing that her colleague went through the same situation. They decided to leave the job.
Later, they filed a complaint against the doctor at Sadar police station on Friday and the police later registered the case.
Under Sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 354-B (Assault or use of criminal force to woman with intent to disrobe) of the IPC, an FIR has been lodged against the doctor.
