Doctor Allegedly Misled Victim About Marital Status

According to police reports, Dr. Jarpula Swamy (37), a pediatrician at Amma Hospital in Mahabubabad, began a relationship in 2023 with a 30-year-old junior doctor who was working at the same hospital at the time.

The victim later discovered that Dr. Swamy had not divorced his wife, contrary to what he had told her. When she approached Swamy’s family, she allegedly received no response, prompting her to file a police complaint.
