New Delhi: A 47-year-old orthopedic surgeon of a civil hospital in Gurgaon was arrested from New Delhi on Sunday for allegedly raping a patient, police said.
The 44-year-old victim in her complaint to the police on Friday alleged she recently visited Dr Arvind Jindal at Gurgaon civil hospital following pain in her leg which was operated upon by him two years ago, a senior police officer said.

"We have conducted the medical examination of the victim which confirmed rape," the officer said. A case under section 376 (punishment for rape) of IPC has been registered against the accused, he added.
