Overview

• Dr. Ravindra Deokar, a senior professor at KEM Hospital, is accused of sexual harassment by six female doctors, including inappropriate touching and forced selfies.
• The Mumbai Sessions Court denied his anticipatory bail, citing attempts to contact and pressure victims, which could hinder the ongoing investigation.
• The initial complaint was filed by a 32-year-old assistant professor, with five others subsequently coming forward with similar allegations of misconduct.
• KEM Hospital has suspended Dr. Deokar and barred him from entering the premises following the complaints and a formal police FIR.
• The court acknowledged the possibility of additional unreported victims, including a former professor now in Scotland who supported the allegations via email.
