A 31-year-old doctor from Malad is in custody for allegedly engaging in sexual abuse and financial exploitation of women through social media platforms by promising marriage. Three women have come forward with complaints, reporting that Dr. Yogesh Bhanushali had sexually abused and defrauded them. A 21-year-old woman from Nalasopara reported her case to the Tulinj police, claiming that she had been both sexually abused and financially cheated by Dr. Yogesh Bhanushali. The alleged sexual abuse occurred in Malad (west), leading to the case’s transfer to the Malwani police. The Tulinj police revealed that two more women, a 29-year-old from Vapi in Gujarat and a 23-year-old from Mumbai, have also filed rape cases against Bhanushali. Bhanushali’s method reportedly involved enticing women online with promises of marriage. He would establish a relationship with them and then solicit money. When the women inquired about marriage, he would evade their questions and block their calls, according to the police. Authorities are actively investigating whether he victimized additional women.
