New Delhi: A 25-year-old Indian-origin man was arrested in Canada for allegedly exposing himself to female doctors and other staff members at several medical facilities in Mississauga.
The accused, identified as Vaibhav, has been accused of visiting multiple clinics across several locations under the pretext of having medical issues and trying to touch women doctors inappropriately, according to Peel Regional Police (PRP).
Accused would visit clinics pretending to be unwell
Police said Vaibhav would repeatedly attend clinics across several locations over a number of months in 2025 with the aim of prompting inappropriate physical contact from female doctors.
In a statement, PRP said, "The 12 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau (CIB) has arrested and charged a Brampton man in relation to an indecent act investigation."
Accused used to expose himself to female clinic staff
Vaibhav would allegedly expose himself to female clinic staff and, on some occasions, use a false identity while interacting with doctors, according to investigators.
Sharing further details, authorities alleged that the accused would reportedly fake medical conditions in an attempt to have female physicians touch him inappropriately and, in some instances, used the alias of Akashdeep Singh while doing so.
Accused arrested
Vaibhav was arrested on December 4 and sent to custody. He is awaiting a bail hearing. He has booked under multiple charges, including Indecent Act in a Public Place, Identity Fraud with Intent to Gain Advantage, Possession of an Identity Document, and Identity Theft.
Authorities believe that there could be more victims who are hesitating to come forward. They have urged members of the public with relevant information to assist the investigation "Anyone with information in relation to this incident is asked to contact the 12 Division CIB at 905-453-2121, ext. 1233," the statement read.
