Doctor arrested for molesting a minor rape victim

INDORE: A 52-year-old doctor was arrested for molesting a minor rape victim who went to him for medical check-up in Khargone here on Friday.
The accused doctor Sawant Solanki was arrested immediately and booked under relevant sections of the IPC. He is posted in the civil hospital in Khargone where the girl went for a routine medical check up.
The officiating Superintendent of Police (SP), Khargone RC Burra confirmed that the doctor has been arrested.
As per the SP, Reena (name changed), 15, went to the government hospital along with a constable Jagannath Pandey and her mother for getting a X-ray done. Her medical check up for confirmation of rape was done in Maheshwar but local doctors suspected her age and sent her to the civil hospital in Khargone.
"Constable Pandey and his mother left Reena in the room with the doctor and went outside," said Satrapal Singh Parihar, in-charge of Khargone police station. He further said that the doctor told the patient to lie on a bed for the x-ray. "Subsequently, the ill-intended doctor began molesting the girl," said Parihar adding that the girl screamed for help.
As soon, they heard Reena screaming, constable Pandey and the victim's mother rushed to the doctor's chamber to rescue the girl. The accused doctor Solanki reportedly thrashed the constable also, said the official.
Police have booked the accused doctor under section 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC and arrested him immediately.
Reena had gone missing and came back a week ago. The police had registered a case of rape against the boy with whom she had eloped as the girl was a minor.
