The woman who was five months pregnant went to the ultra sonography centre for a test when the owner forced himself on her, Superintendent of Police Sukhendu Heera said.

Her scream brought her husband and father-in-law, who were waiting outside, inside the room where the examination was being done yesterday. They informed the police and the man was arrested, Heera said.
