Kerala police have registered a case against a physiotherapist of the Kozhikode beach hospital for allegedly molesting a woman patient.
Vellayil police said a complaint was received on Thursday against a Thiruvananthapuram native man B Mahendran Nair (29).
According to the complaint, the woman was undergoing physiotherapy at the government hospital and during one of the sessions earlier this week, the health worker allegedly misbehaved with her.
An officer of Vellayil police station said that the accused had recently joined the hospital after relocating from another district.
“Details were collected from the girl and a case was registered against the accused under sections 75 (1), 76, and 79 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). Currently, the accused is absconding”, the officer said.
A week ago, a woman patient in the intensive care unit of Kozhikode Medical College was allegedly sexually abused by a hospital staff. A report in this regard was placed at the Kerala Women’s Commission by the District Medical Officer.
