Dr. Arvind Singh's actions at Queens Hospital in July 2020, described as 'serious misconduct,' included grabbing a female colleague's buttocks, undermining her authority and causing public humiliation.
Despite a year-long suspension, a tribunal deemed Dr. Singh fit to practice again, citing his remediation and low risk of repeating the misconduct, which was described as 'traumatizing' for the victim.
The Tribunal concluded that the initial suspension adequately served to promote professional standards and maintain public confidence in the medical profession, allowing Dr. Singh to return to work.
Dr. Singh denied the sexual motivation behind his actions, labeling the incident as an 'accident,' despite the Tribunal's strong findings on the nature and impact of his behavior.
