We reported on the case of two doctors charged with the sexual assault of a 23-year-old woman in a Toronto hotel a few days ago. Since then, more details have emerged as to the perpetrators.
One of the doctors, 32-year-old Amitabh Chauhan, has been “closely associated” with the Canadian Forces since 1997. He became a cadet that year and wound up having a fairly comprehensive career in the military.
Chauhan enrolled in the Royal Military College in Kingston the following year and was an officer cadet. Following that, he received his undergraduate degree from the college in 2002 with an honours BA in politics and economics. The Department of Defence filled in the gaps, noting that Chauhan “began his training to become a pilot in January 2004. He ceased training in July 2005 and undertook a variety of duties.”
He also did pilot training at CFB Moose Jaw.
When Chauhan was arrested, Toronto police said he held a Saskatchewan driver’s licence. On top of that, he’s been a naval reservist and joined in that service three years.
In terms of his medical credentials, Chauhan is a post-grad student in the plastic surgery department at McMaster University in Hamilton.
Kayilasanathan, meanwhile, has only been working in Toronto for a few months. In December of 2010, he started a family practice in Toronto’s east end and got the job on the recommendation of his father, a lawyer. He also holds a medical licence in New Brunswick.
As we reported originally, police believe that the two doctors have more victims. They’ve been appealing across Facebook and other social networking sites for tips as to the other crimes that may be involved in the ghastly repertoire of these two men.
