A 22-year-old nurse was molested, beaten up and dragged by hair by an ambulance driver at a private hospital here, police said.
A case has been registered against the driver, Rohit alias Mohit, who is absconding, police said on Saturday.
On June 5, the nurse was on a call when Rohit came to her and started molesting her. When she protested, he grabbed her by the hair, started beating her and threw her on the ground, Kotwali SHO Sachidanand Pandey said.
