As per NDTV news report, the doctor is currently pursuing her master's at Sapthagiri Medical College after completing her MBBS.
The incident took place on December 17 at around 12.49 am when the doctor was heading to her rented accommodation after completing her hospital duty. On her way, the accused approached her on a two-wheeler and stopped near her under the pretext of asking for the location of a bus stop.
Within moments, he reportedly groped her chest and behaved inappropriately. This shocked the doctor, who then screamed for help, prompting the accused to flee on his bike.
The police are currently investigating to identify the accused and arrest him.
According to police, the accused would target women during evening hours and, if he found them walking or riding alone, would suddenly approach them, hug them tightly or touch them inappropriately, and then flee the spot on his two-wheeler, reports NDTV.
