Doctor detained for raping nurse after promising to get married

The All Women Police, Thirumangalam, on Wednesday arrested a 29-year-old doctor on charges of raping and cheating a woman nurse with the promise of marriage.

The 26-year-old nurse worked at a private hospital in Anna Nagar police district. She filed a complaint with the police stating that a doctor Gowtham told her that he was in love with her. After promising to marry her, he had a sexual relationship with her and got her pregnant. He then forced her to have an abortion, she alleged. He failed to marry her as promised and hence she preferred the complaint.

Based on her complaint, the police arrested J.Gowtham and took him into judicial custody.
