The woman alleged that a bike-borne man intercepted her on the medical college premises when she was near her hostel.

The victim, who hails from Delhi, alleged that the man snatched her purse and "touched her inappropriately". He fled when she raised an alarm, she said.

Amritsar Assistant Commissioner of Police Maninderpal Singh said CCTV footage of the area had been retrieved.

The incident comes close on the heels of the rape and murder of a Kolkata doctor last month, an incident which has triggered nationwide outrage.
