Orthopedician booked after female patient attendant alleges sexual harassment

"He brought me and my father to another room. He made my father lie on a bed and approached me and said he would treat my father in exchange for sexual favours. He forced me to sit beside him and locked the door. Panicked by this, I rushed out of the room," said the woman in her complaint. 

Following this, the woman's father confronted the doctor but was chased away from the room by the doctor. Later, the nursing staff at the reception apologized to him and explained that the doctor's actions were due to his intoxication.

The next day, the father and his daughter approached the Thisayanvilai police station and filed a complaint against the doctor. However, the police refused to register an FIR in connection with the case as alleged by the father. 

Speaking to TNIE, the father said "My daughter and I had to wait at the station from 10 am to 7 pm. The police registered a CSR (community service register) based on her complaint but refused to file an FIR. Some police personnel said that an FIR had been registered, but we were denied a copy. If the police do not arrest the doctor, we will stage a protest."

"The police should take action against him to ensure the safety of other women," said the woman.
