A 53-year-old Indian-origin physiotherapist, Iraj Daneshvar, has been apprehended and charged in connection with a disturbing incident of sexual assault at his clinic located in Ontario’s Richmond Hill, Canada.
This arrest unfolded following a report received on October 23, which detailed a patient being sexually assaulted during a physiotherapy session at a clinic situated in the vicinity of Yonge Street and Centre Street.
On October 30, Daneshvar faced legal action as investigators from the York Regional Police officially charged him with one count of sexual assault causing bodily harm.
It’s pertinent to note that law enforcement suspects that there may be additional victims who have yet to come forward. This disconcerting incident aligns with a larger pattern of sexual assault cases involving professionals in the region.
In August, a 55-year-old man named Ajay Gupta was arrested in Toronto for allegedly assaulting two women during job interviews by manipulating their trust during meditation instructions.
Furthermore, in June, Gurpartap Singh Walia and his son Sumrit Walia were arrested and charged in Calgary for sexually assaulting and exploiting multiple teenage girls over an extended period.
Their methods involved providing girls, who were not of consenting age, with alcohol, vapes, and drugs in exchange for sexual acts.
