Police have registered an FIR against a doctor for allegedly molesting a 56-year-old woman after she blamed him for the death of her son during treatment at a hospital in Maharashtra's Navi Mumbai township, an official said on Sunday.
The son of the woman, a resident of CBD Belapur, died on May 30 this year, the FIR said without specifying its cause and the ailment of his death.
