A Queensland doctor accused of rape, sexual assault, and torture seeks bail amid serious charges. Dushyant Kumar Singh, a general practitioner in Queensland, Australia is seeking bail after being charged with a series of serious offences, including rape, sexual assault, and torture.
The accused doctor faces 35 charges including rape, sexual assault, torture, and perverting justice
Dr Dushyant Kumar Singh, who has been in custody for a month, is facing 35 criminal charges, which include rape, sexual assault, supplying cannabis, torture, and attempting to pervert the course of justice. The allegations relate to multiple incidents at his Ipswich clinic, approximately an hour from Brisbane.
History of detaining patients
Queensland Police allege that Singh raped one woman, sexually assaulted another, and unlawfully detained a third woman inside a consultation room—each on separate occasions. In one instance, a victim reportedly had to “physically resist” Singh and was pressured into taking a specific medication.
Singh is accused of offering money to obtain information through a victim’s solicitor
Authorities further claim Singh attempted to interfere with the investigation by offering $100,000 to a solicitor representing one of the alleged victims, reportedly in exchange for case information.
The court has yet to decide on bail while Singh remains in custody
During a bail hearing on Friday, Singh’s legal team did not comment on whether he intends to contest the charges. When approached by a journalist from 7NEWS outside court, his lawyer declined to answer questions about his client’s wellbeing in custody.
The accused has been suspended from medical practice and has a long history in the profession
Singh’s medical licence was suspended last month by Queensland’s health regulator. He has been practising as a GP in Australia for over a decade, with previous posts in Townsville (Queensland) and Deloraine (Tasmania). Online profiles previously described him as a doctor “renowned for providing comprehensive care and building strong rapports with his patients.”
Singh’s career is now in jeopardy as the judge reserves the bail decision
Singh’s defence team acknowledged in court that his professional future is now “limited.” A judge has reserved the decision on his bail application until next week, and Singh will remain in custody in the interim.
