Pune: A group of woman doctors and staffers at a private hospital on Bund Garden Road barely had any inkling aboutwhatwas in store for them when they made follow-up calls to a man from a city in Andhra Pradesh whom they had treated for some ailment in 2019.

The man sentvulgar texts and obscene photographs to their phone numbers, police said.

On Wednesday, the Koregaon Park policeregistered a case after a staffer (29) from the hospital lodged a complaint accusing the man of outraging her modesty.

The complaint contained details of texts and photos sent to three others, including woman doctors, police said. “One of our teams will soon go to the city (name withheld by police) in Andhra Pradesh to arrest the man,” said inspector Deepali Bhujbal of the Koregaon Park police.

When contacted, a senior doctor from the hospital told TOI, “This is the first time that we have come across such an incident. The man, who was our patient, abused and sent vulgar messages to our staff members whenever they called him for follow ups. ”

The police have registered a case under sections 354-A (showing pornography against the will of a woman; or making sexually coloured remarks) and 354-D (stalking) of the IPC, besides the relevant provisions of the Information Technology Act.
