Rohtak PGIMS doctor expelled, arrested after medical student alleges she was kidnapped and assaulted

On August 17, a first-year BDS student accompanied by her parents lodged a complaint of physical assault against Dr Kaushik. “I am a 1st-year BDS student at PGI Rohtak. I am writing to share a disturbing and traumatic experience that took place on the 16th and 17th of August. Over the past seven months, a senior PG Anatomy student, Dr. Manindar Kaushik, has been stalking me. What began as a seemingly friendly interaction soon escalated into something much more sinister. He persistently pressured me to enter into a relationship, and when I refused, he became violent,” the complainant alleged.

She alleged, “For the past two months, I have been living in fear as he constantly harassed and blackmailed me. He threatened to ensure I would fail Anatomy and even withheld my admit card, using it as leverage to force me into meeting him.

“On the night of the 16th of August, he called me outside the college library, promising he would stop troubling me and hand over my admit card. However, when I arrived, he forced me into his car, violently attacked me, and drove me to an unknown location. For nearly 12 hours, from 11 PM on the 16th until 1 PM on the 17th, he subjected me to extreme physical and emotional abuse. He kicked, punched, and tortured me with a knife, leaving marks all over my body, including my face. I was finally released back on campus, where I immediately called my parents and filed a complaint,” she alleged.

“Despite this, no serious action has been taken against him. I’m left questioning how someone like him could be allowed into a medical college in the first place. I want justice for what I’ve endured, and I am determined to make sure no one else has to suffer in the same way,” she alleged.

Inspector Roshan Lal, in charge of the PGIMS police post, confirmed that Dr Kaushik was arrested based on the BDS student’s complaint.
