Hospital employee booked for sexual assault during ultrasound test in UP

A hospital employee was booked for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman in the pretext of an ultrasound test here in the district women’s hospital, police said on Saturday.

According to the complaint, the woman, a resident of the Gulriha area, visited the district women’s hospital on Thursday morning for an ultrasound test. She was directed to a room, where Abhimanyu Gupta was conducting ultrasounds. 

When her turn came, the accused allegedly stared at her and told her to remove all her clothes, claiming it was



necessary for the test and that a massage would also be required, she said.

The woman alleged that once she complied, the accused began making obscene advances and tried to force himself on her. When she screamed, he allegedly gagged her, abused her, and threatened to kill her before pushing her out of the room.

She said her complaints within the hospital went unheard, forcing her to approach the police. Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
