Police in Kochi registered a case against the doctor after a complaint was filed alleging that he drugged and sexually assaulted the woman, a relative of a prominent actor. The fresh charges emerged amid the investigation into an earlier incident where the same medical professional was allegedly beaten by associates of the actor's family.
The complaint prompted authorities to expand their inquiry beyond the initial assault allegations. Investigators are now examining claims of criminal intimidation and sexual misconduct alongside the existing case file.
The development marks a significant turn in the legal dispute that has attracted considerable public attention in Kerala. The matter remains under active investigation by local law enforcement officials.
Details regarding the timeline of events and the specific circumstances surrounding the allegations have not been fully disclosed by authorities at this stage.
