Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 15 Jan, 2025 12:54 PM
  • Ultrasound technician accused of sexually assaulting woman at Edmonton clinic

An ultrasound technician has been charged with sexually assaulting a patient at his southeast Edmonton clinic last year. 

Edmonton police say 53-year-old Aasim Syed Ahmed was charged in August 2024 with one count of sexual assault.

Police say they became aware in mid-2024 of allegations that the accused had sexually assaulted a female patient during an ultrasound. 

They say it's believed Ahmed is still practising as a sonographer and there may be other complainants.

Investigators are encouraging anyone who may have been targeted by him to contact them.
