A nurse from a private hospital in Barmer, Rajasthan, lodged a rape and sexual exploitation complaint against the hospital's owner, doctor and manager after being freed from jail, leading police to register a case.
Barmer police have opened an investigation after a nurse from a private hospital filed a formal complaint alleging rape and sexual exploitation by the hospital's owner, a doctor and the managing staff. The allegations were made shortly after the nurse secured her release from custody in a separate blackmail case.
According to the police report, the nurse claimed that the accused individuals used their positions of authority to coerce her into sexual acts. She asserted that the misconduct continued despite her attempts to raise concerns internally.
Authorities have registered the case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (PCSO) Act, and are in the process of recording statements from all parties involved. The investigation will also examine the earlier blackmail allegations linked to the nurse's detention.
The hospital has not issued a public comment, and the accused have been summoned for questioning. The police have urged any other potential witnesses to come forward to aid the inquiry.
The case adds to a growing scrutiny of workplace harassment in the healthcare sector across Rajasthan, prompting calls for stricter oversight and employee protection mechanisms.
