Bengaluru Doctor Booked After Woman Alleges Pepper-Spray Assault
A woman who worked at a Bengaluru doctor’s laboratory made a serious complaint against him.
She said he took her to the laboratory to look for files.
She alleged that he sprayed pepper spray on her face and that she fainted.
She said she woke up later and found herself without clothes.
She also alleged that the doctor threatened to share recordings of the incident online.
Police registered a case based on her complaint.
The case was transferred to another agency because it involves the law protecting Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
The allegations have not been established as facts in court.
A Bengaluru doctor was booked after a 30-year-old woman alleged rape at his diagnostic laboratory.
The woman said the doctor took her to the lab on December 15, 2025, under the pretext of looking for files.
She alleged he sprayed pepper spray on her face, causing her to lose consciousness.
According to her complaint, she awoke naked and was told a recording of the incident would be posted online if she spoke out.
