Lakhimpur: A gynaecologist has been arrested in Assam's Lakhimpur district for allegedly attempting to rape a woman, who sought the job of a nurse at his hospital, a police officer said on Saturday.
The accused was taken into custody late on Friday, he said.
The doctor has been identified as a gynaecologist and the proprietor of the Avaneesh Hospital & Research Center, located in North Lakhimpur town.
