Bengaluru doctor arrested for molesting woman during medical examination
Bengaluru: A 56-year-old dermatologist from a private clinic in Ashoknagar, Bengaluru, has been remanded to judicial custody for allegedly molesting a 22-year-old woman under the pretext of a medical examination.
According to police sources, based on a complaint filed by the survivor, the Ashoknagar police have registered a case against the doctor, identified as Dr. Praveen, under Sections 75 (sexual harassment) and 79 (outraging the modesty of a woman through words, gestures, or acts) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The accused has since been taken into judicial custody.
The incident reportedly occurred on the evening of October 18 when the woman visited the private clinic along with her father for treatment of a skin infection. During the consultation, her father stepped outside, and the doctor allegedly took advantage of the situation to behave inappropriately with her.
The complaint states that Dr. Praveen subjected the woman to harassment for nearly 30 minutes, repeatedly touching her inappropriately under the guise of examining the skin condition. He allegedly insisted that she remove her clothes, claiming it was part of the examination, and made obscene remarks and advances.
The survivor also alleged that the doctor suggested booking a hotel room to spend private time with him. Following the incident, the woman informed her family, who, along with local residents, gathered outside the clinic on Monday demanding immediate action against the accused.
Police confirmed that the doctor was subsequently arrested and produced before the court, which remanded him to judicial custody pending further investigation.

Fired from family business, nephew breaks into uncle's shops in Delhi; arrested
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi Police has arrested a 22-year-old man who allegedly stole cash, a laptop and a mobile phone from his uncle's shop in Dwarka to take revenge after he was fired from the family business, officials said on Wednesday.
Piyush Tulswani, the accused, completed his Class 11 from Rajasthan's Pilani, after which he came back to live with his family, a senior police officer said.
His father, Kishan Tulswani, used to work as a sales manager at his uncle Jeetu's confectionery shops. After the death of his father, Piyush took up his position, the officer said.
Soon, Piyush started embezzling money from the shops, and was fired after Jeetu took note of the act, police said.
His mother also reprimanded him for embezzling money, after which Piyush left home and started living with his friend, the officer said.
Piyush hatched a plot to steal money from his uncle’s shops, which he knew well. Acting on his plan, he took his brother's scooter and broke open each shop, stealing cash, a laptop and a mobile phone.
On January 31, Jeetu reported the matter to police, accusing Piyush of committing burglaries at his shops located in Sector-18, Sector-11, Sector-12 and Sector-4, Dwarka, the officer said.
Jeetu also provided CCTV camera footage from the shops, in which Piyush could be seen breaking them open, he said.
Tracing his mobile phone locations to Safdarjang, Hauz Khas, Rajapuri and Dabri, police conducted several raids.
“He later switched off his phone to restrict access to his location,” the officer said.
On February 13, police received information that Piyush would come to the fruit mandi in Dabri around 9.30 am. Accordingly, a trap was laid, leading to the arrest of the accused, he said.
Initially, he did not confess to the crime, but when police showed him the CCTV clips, he admitted to committing the burglaries, the officer said.
