Soon after coming to the room he started flirting with the woman and on the pretext of explaining post Covid symptoms made sexual advancement.“He then started telling me about post Covid symptoms and spoke about various clots that one tends to have in various parts of the body. He then walked towards me and asked me to lie down. He then started touching me inappropriately,” said the woman in her complaint.
