NEW DELHI: A 20-year-old woman who had passed Class XII and was keen to study medicine was allegedly drugged and raped by a doctor in Paharganj five days ago. The woman also told police that the accused had duped her on the pretext of getting her admission to an MBBS course in Moscow.

The woman, a resident of Ghaziabad, has stated in her complaint that the doctor asked her to meet him at the cultural center of a foreign country in central Delhi. From there, he took her to a hotel in Paharganj, where she was allegedly made to down a soft drink laced with sedatives.

The woman reported that she became dizzy after consuming the drink, and the man assaulted her sexually, threatening her of dire consequences if she complained. She escaped from the hotel when the accused fled, and informed her family members. She also approached the police for help and a case of rape was registered under Section 376 of IPC at the Barakhamba Road police station.

A source said the accused is still on the run. Senior officers of the district refused to comment on the case. While the woman's family wanted to send her out of town, police have requested them to let her stay on so that she can help in the investigation.

The woman has alleged that the doctor is a native of Arunachal Pradesh. As per her complaint, he took a large amount of money to get her a seat in Moscow but later went back on his word, asking her to settle for a college in India instead. She told police that on the day of the assault he had asked her to meet him for signing an admission form.

Police said they are analyzing the call records of the duo. One team has been sent to Arunachal Pradesh and the other to a suspected hideout of the accused, a source said. A senior officer said the woman and the doctor knew each other and their call detail record (CDR) shows that they had frequently exchanged calls and messages.
