A foreign tourist has complained to the Galle police against a radiologist in a private hospital in Galle who is alleged to have sexually harassed her when she was referred to him for an ultrasound scan  

The 32 year old woman stated in her complaint that she sought treatment at the private hospital for a pain in her ribs, and the doctor who examined her recommended a blood test and an ultrasound test.  

She said the radiologist who carried out the test touched her private parts without her consent while performing the scan test but he did not issue the report.   Investigations revealed that the radiologist was a doctor retired from government service. OIC Galle Harbour Police Ranjan Kodituwakku, and IP Prashan Silva have initiated investigations.
