Senior NHS consultant Edwin Chandraharan was sacked from St George's hospital, south London in February 2020 for sexually harassing a junior doctor.
However, Chabdraharan denied all allegations and claimed that he is being framed by senior doctors who are jealous of his success.
An employment tribunal heard that he referred to himself and the young doctor, known as WX, 'Commander and Comandee' while they were away on a conference. He ordered her to get naked in front of him in a hotel room as a punishment and told her she 'needed to have a scar'.
He also told her that he can give her a 'special message' and can give her orgasm by only touching her back. Meanwhile, Chandraharan tried to sue the Trust, claiming that he was unfairly dismissed and was discriminated against for being British Asian.
He also threatened to sue WX for defamation and asked for £2 million in damages.
A tribunal report said: 'He asked her about her personal life. He referred to himself and WX as 'Commander and Commandee' and said that he was offering her 'special training'.
'He told WX that she was the 17th special trainee and that he still kept in touch with previous trainees. He told WX not to say anything to anyone as no one would understand.'
Apart from WX there was another victim who came forward and filed a complaint against Chandraharan. Both the victims and other women formed a WhatsApp group and brought formal allegations against the doctor. Result of which, in February 2020, he was sacked for gross misconduct.
