A doctor is facing accusations that he sexually assaulted four patients, including two girls aged 12 and 13, at his surgery.

Dr Saleh Ahmed, 28, of Stockinstone Road, Luton, is alleged to have assaulted the patients at the Herne Hill Doctors Practice between March and May this year.

Ahmed attended a preliminary hearing at Camberwell Green Magistrates last Tuesday (September 13) and was remanded on unconditional bail until October.

He has since been suspended by the General Medical Council pending the outcome of a fitness to practice hearing.

He denies the allegations.
