A doctor who was previously assaulted in Kochi has been formally charged with rape after an actor’s relative claimed he drugged and sexually assaulted her.
A court in Kochi, Kerala, has filed a rape charge against a medical practitioner who earlier faced physical assault. The doctor was reportedly thrashed by an associate of a film actor before the new allegation emerged.
The actor’s relative lodged a formal complaint alleging that the doctor administered a sedative and subsequently sexually assaulted her. The complaint states that the victim was drugged without her consent, leading to the alleged rape.
Police investigations have recorded the accusations and registered a criminal case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code. The victim’s statement forms the basis of the rape charge, while the earlier assault on the doctor remains a separate incident.
Authorities have said the investigation will continue to gather forensic evidence and witness testimonies to determine the full scope of the offenses. The case adds a complex layer to an already contentious dispute involving the entertainment industry figure and the medical professional.
