An NRI doctor who drugged and raped a prospective Indian bride and attempted to commit the same offence on another victim after luring them through a matrimonial website has been jailed for 11 years in the UK.

53-year-old Anil Tangotra  gave false names on the marriage website and used witty chat-up lines and poetry to lure his victims, both in their early 30s, to come to his home in Ilford, Essex, where he spiked their food and drink before brutally attacking them, the Daily Telegraph reported. A jury at Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London convicted him of raping and attempting to rape the first victim in 2006. He was also held guilty of sexually assaulting and attempting to rape the second victim in 2007.Tangotra, who had a practice in Plaistow, east London, insisted that any sexual contact had been instigated by the women.

Tangotra, who is serving an 18-month General Medical Council suspension, faces debarment.
