PUNE: The police on Friday arrested a 21-year-old unemployed man on the charge of molesting a doctor on the evening of September 1.
“The man told the police that he had visited the complainant’s clinic to take photographs at the behest of another doctor because they were competitors. He has revealed details of the other doctor and we will summon him for questioning,” said sub-inspector Vishnu Wadkar on Saturday.
Wadkar added, “The 34-year-old doctor was busy attending a patient when the suspect walked into her clinic. He opened the register maintained at the reception counter and started clicking photos. The receptionist stopped the man from taking photos and alerted the doctor. She rushed out of her chamber and snatched the phone from the man’s hands. After the doctor sought to know why the man was clicking photos without seeking her consent, he started arguing with her.”
“In a fit of rage, the suspect charged at the doctor. He caught hold of her collar and misbehaved with her before fleeing the spot. The suspect was taken into custody after the doctor registered an FIR against him relating to molestation and criminal force under Sections 354 and 352 of the Indian Penal Code on September 2,” he added.
The doctor refused to comment when contacted.
