Former director medical education Dr Bharat Kishore was sent to judicial custody by Chief Judicial Magistrate Jyoti Bala after he surrendered in her court on the direction of the Uttarakhand High Court yesterday.

According to the police complaint filed in the case in December 2010, Kishore promised the victim a job in the health department, took her to Haridwar and sexually assaulted her after lacing her cold drink with an intoxicant.

He allegedly promised to marry the girl later and continued to sexually exploit her for nine years, the complaint said.

Dr Kishore is currently posted as senior resident pathologist at Shrinagar Medical College.
