Doctors sentenced to jail for molesting minors

Mumbai, Mar 19 (UNI) A special Mumbai court awarded three years imprisonment to a 66-year-old Doctor for molesting and sexually harassing a 17-year-old minor, a lawyer said here on Wednesday.
According to the prosecution, the accused, an Ayurvedic doctor, was running a medical and general store in the Ghatkopar area of the city suburb while the victim was working at his stop.
On March 18, 2018,, as a part of the daily routine, the victim went to the doctor's house to take the keys to the shop. The doctor was in his storeroom, and he called the minor inside of the room the moment she stepped inside the room. He allegedly sexually molested her in the room.
Following this a complaint was made and an FIR was registered against the doctor at the Ghatkopar police station under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the POCSO Act.
Accused was arrested and a trial was conducted against him .
During the hearing the court examined the evidence and the CCTV camera that proved the allegations against the accused that he committed the offence of sexual assault. The prosecution examined the CCTV footage as evidence against the doctor and the court sentenced the doctor to three years in jail.
The judge stated on this incident that “I have no hesitation to come to the conclusion that the accused has outraged the modesty of the minor victim girl aged 17 years old, made physical contact and advances involving unwelcome and explicit sexual overtures,” as per the report.
In a detailed order passed recently, the court added that, “The incident has caused an adverse impact on the mind of the victim. No compensation can either be adequate or can be of any respite for her.”
