Krishna Singh, a 72-year-old general practitioner (GP), is accused of kissing, cheating, writing inappropriate exams and speaking abusively, charges he denied during a trial in the Glasgow High Court.
According to news reports from Scotland, the cases began between February 1983 and May 2018 and the cases mainly took place at medical facilities in North Lanarkhire, but also at the department of accidents and emergencies at the hospital, police station and visiting patients’ homes.
Singh was seen as a respected member of the community, even awarded the royal Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) honour for his contribution to medical services.
“The Crown case is that Dr Singh was in a routine of offending against women,” Prosecutor Angela Gray told the Court.
“Sometimes subtle or camouflaged, other times obvious and flagrant. Sexual offending was part of his working life,” she said.
He was found not guilty on nine other charges and not guilty on two counts.
The Trial Judge adjourned the case until next month and allowed Singh to be released on bail on condition that he obtain his passport.
