NEW DELHI: A resident doctor at AIIMS has been arrested for allegedly raping and blackmailing a woman on the pretext of marriage. The woman met him through a matrimonial site and exchanged rings. Following this, the man demanded Rs 25 lakh and an SUV as dowry before marriage.

The arrest was made on the basis of a complaint filed by the woman at Delhi's Kavi Nagar police station. The marriage was postponed after the doctor said he had to write his PhD papers.

She was then allegedly offered a drink spiked with drugs and was sexually abused. This was filmed by the man's brother-in-law, who also sexually assaulted her.
