A Christchurch doctor formerly resident in Dunedin has had his licence to practice cancelled following his conviction on sex charges involving several male patients. The offences were committed in Amberley and Riccarton from 2011-15, and resulted in Chawdhry being jailed for four years and four months. Chawdhry’s offending was a gross breach of trust and disgraceful conduct by the practitioner, the tribunal said. "These convictions and the nature of the offending undoubtedly reflect adversely on Dr Chawdhry’s fitness to practise as a medical practitioner. "These offences were gross breaches of trust and were repeated with Dr Chawdhry’s patients over a sustained period of offending."
