LUCKNOW: A woman anaesthetist accused a nephrologist working at a private hospital in Talkatora of sexual harassment, making obscene remarks and sending messages to her and the owner of patronizing the accused.
In her complaint to police, the doctor, who has a super-specialty degree in anaesthesiology from Chicago, said she started to work with the hospital in 2020 and was in the team of the nephrologist.

She alleged that the doctor showed undue interest in her and then started making obscene comments and she even complained about it to hospital owner.
“The owner did not take any action and this emboldened the accused, who started sending obscene messages to me. He used to send invitation to join parties to celebrate the successes of transplants, but I never attended them. One day he sent me a message asking me to meet him in a hotel,” she said. She got nervous and shocked at this and complained to the owner.
“The owner rebuked me and asked me not to share the incident with my acquaintances and hospital staff and shunted me out. They are now threatening to frame me in some cases,” she said, asking police to help her.
The doctor also posted her video on social media asking women and girls to not get duped by the nephrologist and demanded quick action on her complaint from the police.
SHO, Talkatora, Rakesh Kumar told TOI that police have registered a case under sexual harassment, criminal intimidation and Information Technology Act on the doctor’s complaint.
“We are probing the case. Prima facie the allegations of the woman have been found true,” he said.
