Sabbirahmed Bhikha Groped Woman Whlst Posing as a Doctor

From The Daily Mail:

A bogus doctor who massaged a woman's breasts after she complained of back pain was jailed for two years today.

Sabbirahmed Bhikha, 58, groped his patient for several minutes and touched her chest 'like a boyfriend would', the Old Bailey heard.

Bhikha advertised himself on business cards as Dr Sabbirahmed Bhikha MBST and charged £30 per session, running surgeries from his east London home.

But his only training was as a lathe operator in his home country of India. Bhikha later told jurors his skills at back massage were 'a gift from god.'

Judge Paul Worsley QC said: 'You were a respected member of your society. You have now been exposed as a charlatan. You have brought shame on your family and upon your family's healing tradition.

'If you were in fact a qualified doctor you would have been struck off. You are not a doctor and it therefore falls to the courts to control your activities and punish you.'

Bhikha, from Walthamstow, east London, was convicted of sexual assault and two counts of fraud by false representation.

He was jailed for 15 months for the sexual assault and given nine months to serve consecutively for fraud, making a total of two years.

A probation report written for the sentencing hearing said Bhikha pretended to be a GP 'for the purposes of sexual gratification and personal gain'.

Prosecutor Hugh Forgan told the court: 'This was a deliberate misrepresentation in order to get paid for services.

'The General Medical Council have been asked if they have any record of him. They do not. He has never registered with them.'

The victim, an Asian woman in her 30s, first visited his home in November, 2007, after being given a recommendation by her aunt and later returned for further treatment.

Mr Forgan said: 'He told her to strip to her underwear and lie on her back. He removed her bra, massaging at length each of her breasts.

'The touching could have had no conceivable medical purpose. It was simply an assault. The effect on her was obvious. She was angry and didn't pay any money.

'She complained to the police.' To put his patient at ease, he told her: 'I'm a doctor, I do this day in and day out.'

The court heard Bhikha also conned a male Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) who visited him for treatment for back pain.

Defence barrister Thomas Nicholson-Pratt described the offences as a 'lapse of judgement'.

The judge told Bhikha: 'Sadly you have used your status in the community as a well respected masseur to cause you to hold yourself as a doctor.'

'Those who pose in our community as medically qualified professionals must be exposed and punished.

'I take the view that a particularly serious aspect of your posing as a doctor was that the woman was encouraged to come back to you for further treatment.

'Trusting you she removed her bra and allowed you to massage her breasts was something she would never have done had she known you were not a doctor.

'She is still clearly mortified by the experience. You have shown no remorse and no apology.'

On his arrest, police found 45 tablets of diazepam as well as the hallucinogenic aphrodisiac Butofenine in a medical cabinet.

But Bhikha was cleared of possession of the drugs after claiming they belonged to his son.

Bearded and bespectacled, he showed little emotion as he was jailed and the sentence relayed to him by a Gudjurati interpreter.

Bhikha had been cleared of a further count of sexual assault after it was alleged he groped the woman's bottom and rubbed oil on it.

to the guy above your such a dick Shabir is the most genuine guy i have ever met completely humble with an amazing family. Justice will prevail and he will be freed, there are sick people who would put such accusations to such a pure person, this is a disgusting idea to get a innocent person in prison and to gain compensation. I hope the people behind this get what they deserve. You ever this was is a jealous person of the amazing quality god has given him.

To the guy above, if Shabir was a great guy, then how come he never looked after his wife. Justice has prevailed and a prick like Shabir is behind bars. I hope someone kills him inside prison. BTW God has not given him anything, this is the work of Shaytaan. He lied about being a Doc, where did he get his qualification from? I think from the little boys room, whilst he was touching them up 2.

To the two idiots in the last message, from reading both your messages you both clearly have something personal with Shabir, to bring his wife into matters it is very clear you have your own vendetta. I wont be suprised if your behind such ill planned accusation.

Anonymous said...

my learned friend these are not ill planned accusations as you mention (above). the UK Court of Criminal Law (Old Bailey)has found him GUILTY beyond reasonable doubt with a Jury.
If your found to be Guilty then you are Punished.. in this case 2Year in Jail.

Ref His wife the courts brought that to light that he has one... I hear she is mentally not stable thus that makes him Mr DESPARATE!

I think he should die of shame...

I pray for Justice. For the people who are behind this forget the fact God is watching them. Such a humble pure hearted person will receive his reward for his patients in the next world. And those with the evil heart, will receive what they deserve.

May God protect Sabbir Ahmed and his family from evil and make such a hard time ease for them.

Ameen.

Mr Bhika has been put through this test and inshallah with the prayers of his family, friends and those he has healed he will be rewarded for enduring such atrocious injustice. Being put behind bars by a materialistic woman with no self respect and dignity for herself, who is only concerned with obtaining money through such disgusting ways will surely have its repercussions on her and her family. Even a hooker is more deserving of respect than this nasty money hungry person who claims to be a woman who is 'mortified' after her self proclaimed sexual assault. It doesn't take a genius to figure what the ill motive behind this and our prays are with Mr Bhika's family. May allah grant them the patience to get through this tough time.
P.s: message for 'Muslim Brother' from Birmingham and others who are spitting venom under the disguise of being a Muslim... please refrain from making such nasty comments and then attaching a tag of being "muslim".

All of you are so unbelievably stupid. Bare cussing the women that came forward with a huge accusation, that has scarred her. Are you her though? Do you know how she feels though? Were you there though? NO! So stop trying to act like smart arses cuz this is all true! After she came forward many others came forward with the same accusation. This man wwas unbelievably horny, face the facts! You silly villagers, people dont just get sentenced over one accusation, the case is looked into, and more evidence is found before someone is sentences.
And stop licking the guys arse, because you never really know a person...I dont know what you wierdo's get up 2 at home, and any one of you could be murderers, or rapist's or whatever. So dont jump to conclusions. GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT N STOP PARRIN THE WOMEN DAT CAME FORWARD! YOU PEOPLE ARE NO ONE TO SAY HOW GOD WILL PUNISH HER. ARE YOU GOD THO? I DIDNT THINK SO EITHER SO HUSH YOUR BEAKS!

I know Mr Shabbir.He has treated me & many other relatives and friends.This seems like a set up & it seems as though there is a lot of jealousy involve.
He is a brilliant and this tradition runs in his family.He had an uncle in Barbados who also treated me when I was young and got hurt whilst playing cricket or football.What has put him down here is that despite having the skills ,he didn't go through the channel of accreditation is required in the UK.I think this is mainly due to his ignorance of the system and lack of ability to speak fluent english.I suggest that Shabbir gains an accreditation and required insurance etc and continue to serve the community who he and his family has served for many years.He is not greedy as he has treated my friends(males) without any fee/charges.Justice will prevail.

Why did these women go alone in 1st place, also if she thought he was dodgy 1st time why go on repeat visits. The guy might have skills, but does the women have no brains that back pain and breast are two different areas. Should she not walk out rather than going through with it.
