"A tribunal concluded that Dr Konathala touched a patient's breasts inappropriately, with sexual motives, leading to a one-year suspension by the GMC."
"Despite being found guilty of inappropriate conduct, Dr Konathala has been allowed to return to unrestricted practice, not posing a risk to public safety."
Dr. Varaha Vijaya Nageswara Konathala faced a one-year suspension from the General Medical Council due to inappropriate touching of a patient during a consultation. A subsequent tribunal ruled he could practice unrestricted after his suspension, claiming he posed no public risk. The allegations, stemming from a 2019 incident where the patient, known as Patient A, reported Dr. Konathala's actions as 'creepy and strange,' led to a police investigation, but the lack of evidence resulted in no further action against him. Despite his denial, the episode raises significant concerns regarding patient safety.
