Mumbai: Security agencies on Thursday carried out a mock drill at the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) headquarters in south Mumbai which also involved use of helicopters.

As part of the drill, a chopper landed on top of the 25-storey headquarters of the RBI in the high security area, taking everyone by surprise.

Onlookers said choppers were hovering around the area for some time before one of them landed on top of the building.

A senior police official said it was a security drill designed while keeping in mind any possible scenarios.

However, he refused to share any details.

The RBI sources also confirmed that it was a "mock drill" carried out by the central bank's in-house security department with the help from other agencies.

Gorakhpur (PTI): A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women's hospital, police said on Saturday.

According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women's hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test.

She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.

She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.

Senior consultant (paediatrics) Dr Jay Kumar said, "The woman has levelled serious allegations against a staff member. Senior officials have been informed, and a departmental inquiry is underway. Strict action will be taken if the charges are proved."

Kotwali Station House Officer Chatrapal Singh said a case has been registered, and efforts are on to nab the accused.
