GEORGE TOWN: Police have received yet another report from a woman who alleged that she was a victim of indecent behaviour by a medical officer at a hospital here.
Northeast deputy OCPD Supt Lee Swee Sake said the latest report was lodged on Friday, making it the third complaint received regarding the case.
“The third victim reported that the incident took place at 9.15pm on Feb 20 at the hospital where the suspect was employed.
“According to the complainant, the doctor had summoned her to the hospital to collect her blood test report.
“He then deceived her into believing she had a heart condition that required further examination,” he told Bernama yesterday.
Supt Lee said the 43-year-old doctor allegedly instructed the victim to undress, pretending to conduct a heart examination.
The doctor then ordered her to run around the area while recording the act on his mobile phone, he said.
“We have found a video recording on the suspect’s mobile phone and are conducting further investigations to determine whether additional recordings exist.
“Initial investigations showed the suspect, a married man, admitted to multiple instances of indecent behaviour involving patients at the hospital and a private clinic where he worked part-time.
“We are continuing our investigations and are working to complete the investigation papers,” he said.
Supt Lee said the suspect remains in custody until tomorrow to assist in the probe under Section 509 of the Penal Code and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act.
According to earlier reports, police arrested the medical officer at a hospital here at about 9.30pm on Feb 26 after receiving information regarding the incident.
The suspect was remanded but released on police bail on March 2.
State Health director Datuk Dr Fazilah Shaik Allaudin said the department would provide full cooperation with the police regarding the case.
