A doctor, booked for raping a nurse in Gurgaon in April 2016, was sent to a three-day police remand on Tuesday, after a crime branch team nabbed him in Allahabad on Monday. The suspect has been identified as 35-year-old Girish Ojha, who had been evading arrest for three months.

According to police, the woman had befriended the doctor while she was studying at SGT University in Chandu-Budhera.

She had filed a complaint against Ojha on April 13, 2016, claiming he had raped her multiple times in the past after promising marriage. The 26 year-old woman, who is now employed with a city-based hospital, also claimed the doctor had married her on March 2 at an Arya Samaj temple in Ghaziabad but left her the next day. An FIR has been registered against the man under sections 376 (rape), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 420 (cheating) of the IPC.

“On March 3, a day after our marriage, he told me the marriage was a sham and left, after threatening to kill me if I went to police,” the woman said in her complaint.

The matter was assigned to the crime unit-I. Inspector Yashwant formed a team and finally arrested the doctor in Allahabad on Monday, where he confessed to the crime. He was brought to the city on Tuesday. “The doctor was working in his hometown,” said Hawa Singh, ACP (crime), Gurgaon.
