KAJANG: A doctor who allegedly severed a boy's penis during a circumcision procedure last year was brought to the magistrate's court here where three charges were made against him. Dr Azahari Hashim, 52, however, pleaded not guilty to all the charges before Magistrate Nor Afidah Idris on Thursday. The doctor, who has four children, was also charged with running an unregistered private clinic, which is an offence under Section 4 of the Private Healthcare Facilities and Services Act 1998. On the last count, Dr Azahari was charged with practising without a valid medical practising certificate as required under Section 33 of the Medical Act 1971. The court then allowed the accused bail of RM9,000 with one surety and fixed Jan 26 for mention.
