Doctor arrested
Pune: A Pune-based doctor running an acupressure clinic in Varvandi, Daund has been arrested on charges of sexually assaulting a female patient during treatment and extorting a gold ornament through intimidation.
The patient accused the doctor of forcefully sexually assaulting her even though she resisted. When the complainant threatened to inform others about the incident, the doctor allegedly manipulated her threatening to damage her reputation.

The incident occurred when the woman visited the doctor's clinic to treat a back ailment on August 21, 2024. According to her statement, what began as inappropriate advances quickly escalated into coercion and sexual assault. The incident reportedly occurred at multiple locations, including within the clinic premises as reported by Pune Times Mirror.
