MUMBAI: A doctor from a renowned hospital in Vasai was booked on Tuesday for allegedly molesting a 23-year-old nurse while on duty.
According to the police, the nurse, a resident of Nalasopara, has been working at the hospital in Vasant Nagari for the past year. She was attending patients at the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) around 10.00 am on Tuesday, when the doctor called her to his cabin.
