Faked Medical Conditions: Indian-Origin Man Held in Canada for Flashing Female Doctors; Used Fake Identity
25-year-old Brampton resident Vaibhav allegedly targeted multiple Mississauga clinics with fabricated ailments and a false Sikh alias to enable indecent exposure and unwanted contact
Mississauga, Ontario – In a disturbing case of targeted harassment, a 25-year-old Indian-origin man from Brampton has been arrested and charged with indecent acts and identity fraud after allegedly infiltrating medical clinics under false pretenses to expose himself to female physicians and staff. Peel Regional Police (PRP) revealed that the suspect, identified as Vaibhav, conducted a months-long spree in 2025, feigning illnesses to manipulate situations for inappropriate physical interactions, often using the alias “Akashdeep Singh” to obscure his identity.
According to a PRP statement released on December 10, the 12th Division Criminal Investigations Bureau launched an investigation following multiple complaints from female healthcare workers at various clinics across Mississauga. Investigators allege that Vaibhav repeatedly posed as a patient suffering from fabricated medical conditions, designed specifically to require examinations by female doctors. During these visits, he is accused of exposing himself and attempting to coerce unwanted touching, exploiting the professional trust inherent in medical settings.
“The accused reportedly faked medical conditions in an attempt to have female physicians touch him inappropriately and, in some instances, used the alias of Akashdeep Singh while doing so,” the police statement detailed. The incidents, spanning several months, involved a pattern of behavior that left victims feeling violated and unsafe, with some reports surfacing only after the arrest linked them together.
Vaibhav was apprehended on December 4 and remains in custody pending a bail hearing. He faces four serious charges: indecent act in a public place, identity fraud with intent to gain advantage, possession of an identity document, and identity theft. Authorities believe there may be additional unreported victims and have urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing the importance of reporting such predatory conduct.
The case has drawn sharp online backlash, particularly over the suspect’s use of a fake Sikh name, which some social media users decried as an attempt to tarnish community identities. Comments on platforms like X ranged from outrage over the exploitation of healthcare professionals to calls for stricter clinic security protocols. “This isn’t just indecent—it’s a calculated assault on women in medicine who are already overworked and vulnerable,” one user posted, echoing widespread sentiments.
As the investigation continues, PRP has commended the bravery of the victims who spoke out, noting that their cooperation was pivotal in connecting the dots. This incident underscores growing concerns about safety in healthcare environments, especially for women in high-trust roles, amid rising reports of similar harassment cases globally.
