Ahmedabad: Divorcee doctor assaults, molests intended bride

AHMEDABAD: A 31-year-old woman from Vadaj on Sunday lodged a complaint against one Dr Tejas Rajgaur, a resident of Vrajbhumi Society near CTM Crossroads for molesting, abusing and assaulting her.
The woman, who got divorced in May 2017 and lives with her 4-year-old daughter, said she came into contact with the accused through a marriage bureau in Paldi, where she had submitted her bio-data.
Inspector Vanrajsinh Chavda of Vadaj police station said they have detained the accused and are waiting for the result of his Covid-19 test before they officially arrest him. An FIR under Sections 354 (a) , 452, 323,294 (b) and 506(1) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was lodged.
The woman, who runs a beauty parlour from her house, in her FIR stated that about a week ago she received a call on her mobile and the caller said he had seen her profile with the marriage bureau. He said his son, a doctor, was interested in her. “Later, the doctor, who is also divorced, sent his bio-data to the woman’s mobile, but as she was busy she did not respond. On Saturday, the accused called her and she told him her daughter was ill. He asked her to bring her daughter to his house, which she did. After about 15 minutes there, they left,” said a police official.
According to the FIR, the accused called her several times after that and at about 11pm came to her house and asked her why she wasn’t answering his calls. He then started abusing her. When she tried to call the police, the accused snatched her phone and threw it on the floor. He then molested her. She said that he also threatened her saying he would kill her if she didn’t marry him.
