A disgraced former GP has been struck off after committing a campaign of sexual abuse against patients in Scotland spanning four decades.
Krishna Singh, 73, was convicted of 54 offences, involving 47 women and girls, during a trial at the High Court in Glasgow last year. He was jailed for 12 years this past May.
The sex offender worked for Coatbridge Health Centre from 1983 until he was charged in 2018. Singh was even awarded an MBE in 2013.
Singh, who denied the charges which happened between January 1984 and 2018, was described as a sexual predator who was "hiding in plain sight" during the trial. Patients who suffered from the GP included a rape victim, teenagers and pregnant women.
His actions included kissing and hugging patients, touching their breasts and making inappropriate comments to them.
Following his conviction, Singh challenged the imposed sentence as excessive but his appeal bid was lost in early December.
Now, he has also been erased from the Medical Register following a tribunal where his fitness to practice was found to be impaired. MPTS (Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service) said Singh had brought the medical profession into "disrepute" and his actions were "deplorable".
The Tribunal stated: "[Dr Singh's] conduct was fundamentally incompatible with continued registration. The Tribunal determined that Dr Singh’s conduct was so serious that no other sanction would sufficiently address its concerns.
"Dr Singh asserted his innocence throughout the criminal proceedings and pleaded not guilty to all of the criminal charges. He has been unable to engage with consideration of the impact of the incident on his patients or the wider public.
"Dr Singh’s actions have brought the reputation of the profession seriously
