Siddha doc booked for sexual assault

The police said that a first information report (FIR) was registered against Annadurai (32) of Kilpauk Garden. They added that he was interrogated based on a complaint filed by a 28-year-old woman. 

The police added that the victim approached him for treatment as she was childless even after three years of marriage. She knew the doctor from when he treated her husband for jaundice six months ago. 

Annadurai, who recently called the couple, allegedly told them that he has got some special medicine and asked the woman to visit him for the treatment on Wednesday. However, he allegedly misbehaved with her on the pretext of treatment. Further investigation is on.

The Taramani police arrested a 33-year-old man for assaulting his wife seeking divorce. The police said that the accused, K Manimaran (33), is a daily wage labourer and a resident of Thanthai Periyar Nagar.

While Manimaran has been married for six years and has two children, he is said to have developed an extra-marital affair with another woman and started abusing his wife. 

The victim recently lodged a complaint that she was assaulted by her husband. A case was registered and Manimaran was arrested after investigation.

Meanwhile, the Tondiarpet police arrested 35-year-old Sagayaraj for misbehaving with a married woman. He was remanded in judicial custody on Thursday.
