The student at the Goa Medical College and Hospital near here said in her complaint that the three doctors sent her sexually explicit messages, passed vulgar remarks and have been intimidating her since February 2013, a police spokesperson told reporters here.

"We registered an FIR (first information report) last (Thursday) night at the women's police station which deals with such cases. The complainant came to us some days ago. We were in the process of verifying the complaint," the spokesperson said.
