Toronto, May 2 (IANS) A 62-year-old Indo-Canadian homeopathic doctor has been arrested and charged for alleged sexual assault of a young patient who had come to his clinic in Brampton, the police said.
Sunil Anand has been charged with sexual assault and sexual interference following an investigation by the Peel Regional Police Special Victims Unit.
On April 23, the police received information that a young person had visited a clinic in Brampton to see a homeopathic doctor. During the medical examination, it is alleged that the young person was sexually assaulted, the Peel Regional Police said.
Anand was held for a bail hearing and attended the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton. The police said Anand also works at a homeopathic clinic in the Toronto area.
Investigators have appealed to those with information to come forward and contact officers in the Special Victims Unit of the Peel Regional Police.
Police say the app she was using was a fake made to look legitimate and when she realized she couldn't withdraw money, the fraudster disappeared. Police say the victim was then contacted by someone else who said he could help get her money back and threatened her until she sent more in what turned out to be a second scam.
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth is set to announce tomorrow whether the R-C-M-P or a municipal police service will be responsible for policing the city. Mayor Brenda Locke says the transition back to R-C-M-P will be less expensive than changing the police service.
It happened last night as police responded to a call about a man attacking others at a home on Oak Street. Shots were reportedly fired after officers arrived and tried to take a man into custody.
The RCMP says officers, including the integrated emergency response team, air support and police dogs, were called to the bank just after noon on Thursday. Police issued a statement asking the public to stay away from the area.
Sajjan was defence minister at the time and McPhedran said she copied him and several other ministers on many emails about her activities. Sajjan told the committee he was so busy at the time he didn't have time to check his inbox.
The head of the Public Service Alliance of Canada says the government has yet to change their position on wage demands. National President Chris Aylward says his workers deserve a raise that keeps up with inflation and the current offer of nine per cent over three years doesn't cut it.
