Dr Prakashchandra Jain, 69, was arrested last month and has not returned to work since he was released by police under investigation.

Restrictions include a ban on seeing female patients without a chaperone unless it is a life-threatening emergency.
He must log every consultation with a female patient and get it signed by the chaperone.
