A dental student at the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences (PGIMS) in Rohtak has alleged that she was kidnapped and assaulted by one of the resident doctors of the anatomy department. Police filed a case, and arrested the accused. The assault allegedly took place on Friday, August 16.
Rohtak's Deputy Superintendent of Police, Virendra Singh, stated that a first-year BDS student from PGIMS lodged a complaint on Sunday night, alleging that she was kidnapped and assaulted.
According to the student's complaint, on August 16, the accused kidnapped her from PGIMS and took her to Ambala and Chandigarh, where he assaulted her. No evidence of sexual harassment or rape has emerged from the victim's statement or the investigation until now, the police stated.
In a video that emerged on social media platform X, the woman is seen crying and showing the wounds on her body caused by the alleged assault.
In the video, she claimed that the resident doctor has been harassing her for the last seven months. She also alleged that the accused threatened to cut down her attendance if she raised the issue with college authorities.
The incident comes amid nationwide protests by doctors and the medical fraternity after the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a state-run hospital in Kolkata.
