Doctor Booked
Bengaluru: In a shocking incident in Bengaluru, a doctor heading a private multi-specialty hospital in Bengaluru has been booked by police for allegedly sexually harassing a woman employee who later resigned, citing repeated inappropriate behaviour.
According to a senior police officer, the 29-year-old complainant, who had been working as an accountant at the private Hospital since July 2025, alleged that the hospital head repeatedly made inappropriate remarks about her appearance during office hours. She further claimed that he would stare at her while she was in uniform and comment on her attire despite her objections.
The complainant stated that she had repeatedly warned him to stop such behaviour, but the alleged harassment continued.
She also alleged that the harassment reportedly continued beyond the workplace, claiming that the doctor sent her objectionable messages on WhatsApp and later contacted her via phone call, during which he allegedly made inappropriate remarks about her appearance.
The situation reportedly escalated at her home when her husband overheard one of the calls, leading to a dispute and further distress. Following repeated incidents, the woman resigned from her job and approached the police.
Based on a complaint, a case has been registered at the HSR Layout police station, and the accused doctor is currently out of station. “Once he returns, we will initiate legal action,” the police officer said, reports Deccan Herald.
Medical dialogues had previously reported that a senior Ayurvedic doctor posted at the AYUSH wing of the District Medical College Hospital in Korba was accused of molesting a trainee doctor by allegedly pretending to examine her against her will. Following her complaint, the police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the matter.
