The accused had called the woman to meet him at an abandoned old boys’ hostel, said Ashok Jadon, city superintendent of police.

The victim was to appear for an exam and was staying in the girls’ hostel of the Gajaraja Medical College, said Jadon.

The horrifying incident comes months after a 31-year-old post-graduate doctor was brutally raped and murdered by a civic volunteer inside RG Kar Medical College and Hospital’s seminar hall in Kolkata. Police recovered the body of the woman doctor from inside the premises on August 9. Kolkata police arrested the civic volunteer Sanjay Roy, the main accused in the case. The case was then transferred to the CBI after following directions from the Calcutta High Court.

In the Gwalior rape case, the accused, also a doctor aged 25 years, has been arrested, and further investigation is underway.
