Mumbai doc held for molesting TV reporter

Mumbai: A cosmetic surgeon was arrested in Mumbai on Sunday morning for allegedly molesting a 20-year old TV reporter inside his clinic in a northwest suburb.
Latest report suggested that the doctor has been sent to judicial custody till January 18.
Dr Vijay Sharma, a well-known figure among Mumbai’s celebrities, allegedly asked the reporter to visit his clinic so that he could give her information on a surgical treatment.
The reporter was working on a story on cosmetic surgeries and had contacted Sharma some days ago.
"Sharma, who has two dispensaries, called her at his clinic in Khar this morning and gave the necessary details to the girl. When she went ahead to thank him by shaking hands, he kissed her," an unnamed senior police officer of the Khar police station told PTI.
A cameraperson accompanying the girl was standing outside the consulting room when the incident occurred. Sharma also passed lewd remarks at the reporter, the officer said.
After the reporter fled from the clinic, Sharma allegedly called her on her phone and warned her to keep quiet and she he was a very "influential" person.
Meanwhile, another woman has now come out with accusations against doctor Sharma. She spoke exclusively to CNN-IBN.
She said, "Whenever I went as a patient he used to harass me. I stopped going to him after all this. He cheated me of Rs 3.5 lakh rupees. He insists on meeting him at the clinic. I had complained but no action has been taken so far.”
The reporter’s lawyer, Phalguni Bramhbhat, alleged that Sharma threatened the woman with a surgical instrument and threatened to malign her if she complained against him.
A complaint was filed with the Khar police station immediately and Sharma was arrested under Sections 354 (outraging the modesty of a woman) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the Indian Penal Code.
