Police rescued the doctor nearly 13 days after he went missing.  Seven men were arrested, including the main accused, but Harsh alias Gaurav Sharma remained at large and subsequently, a reward of Rs 50,000 was declared on his arrest, the police said. Last week, he was nabbed while walking towards Buddhist Monastery from ISBT, police said. He completed his secondary education from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, and then married against his parent's wishes, hence, was disowned by his family.
