An Indian-origin cancer specialist in the United Kingdom has been removed from the medical register after being convicted in a criminal case. Shamir Chandran was sentenced to four years in prison for coercive behaviour and cruelty towards a minor. A UK medical tribunal said allowing him to continue practising would damage public trust in doctors. Chandran denied the allegations and left the UK before sentencing. The tribunal said there was an arrest warrant against him. He earlier worked with the National Health Service in north-west England and studied medicine in Kerala, India.
