The Crime Branch of the Mira Bhayandar-Vasai Virar (MBVV) police have arrested one person from Kolkata for allegedly attacking and robbing a doctor at her clinic in Bhayandar on January 23. The doctor had received 30 stitches on her head and is recuperating at a private hospital.

Crime Branch sources said accused Rashid Shakil Khan, 52, posed as a patient and waited outside Dr Gayatri Jaiswal’s clinic, on Amrutvani Satsang road, Bhayandar West, as the doctor was treating other patients. He met the doctor on the pretext of doing the RT-PCR test and attacked her before escaping with cash and gold ornaments, said an officer.
