The Kasturba Marg police have arrested award-winning psychologist and marriage counsellor, Dr Sanjoy Mukerji, 57, for raping a 19-year-old patient on the pretext of treating her for depression. The survivor's parents approached the police on February 10, after she revealed the matter to a woman doctor, whom they visited when the teenager refused to return to Mukerji's clinic.

According to the complaint, Dr Mukerji [a PGDPC, PhD(Alternative Medicine)] had sexually abused the teen the first time she went to his clinic in Magathane, Borivli East, in July 2018. On the second visit, (September 2018) he made a video of himself raping her, and abused her again on the third visit. The fourth time in October 2018, he had unnatural sex with her by threatening to make the video viral on social media. Recently, when she refused to visit his clinic again, her parents took her to a woman doctor, to whom she revealed the matter. When the doctor told her parents, they approached the cops and filed a complaint.
