Dr Pravin Kadam, a resident of Nallasopara in the district, had allegedly sexually assaulted the woman in February and also clicked her photographs on his mobile phone, sub-inspector Hemant Patil of Nallasopara police station said.
The victim, who hailed from Solapur, fled the city without reporting the incident to anyone, he said.
However, Kadam's wife Dr Preeti allegedly called her up last month and threatened her of circulating her pictures if she disclosed the matter to anyone, following which the victim lodged a complaint at Sadar Bazaar police station there. The case was eventually transferred to Thane.
The couple has been booked under variouis sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), but no arrest has been made so far.
