PTI Washington: Umar Ejaz, a 40-year-old Indian doctor living in the Rochester Hills area of Oakland County in the US state of Michigan, has been arrested on August 8 for the crime of storing nude photos of women and children by installing hidden cameras in hospitals for years. The police came to know about the crimes of her doctor husband after the doctor’s wife came forward with disturbing material. A bond of twenty million dollars has been fixed on the doctor who is the father of two sons with no previous criminal record. Oakland County Sheriff Mike Bouchard said thousands of videos were recovered from the doctor’s home. Police have found 13,000 videos on a single hard drive. Which will take months to check. The act of this doctor is being compared to the type of sex scandal that sports doctor Larry Nassar had earlier. After the police arrested the doctor on August 8, issued a number of warrants and seized six computers, four phones and fifteen external devices. Ejaz has been accused of sexually harassing children, taking nude photos and using a computer to commit a crime on August 13. Oakland County Prosecutor Karen MacDonald said Ajaz sought out his victims at prestigious institutions and hospitals. In 2023, he photographed children and their mothers in the changing room of the Goldfish Swimming Club. The doctor’s victims range from two-year-old children to women. Ejaz came to the US from India on a work visa in 2011. He lived in Alabama after doing his residency at Sinai Grace Hospital. He returned to Michigan in 2018. He also worked at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital in Clinton Township and Ascension Genesis Hospital in Grand Block. Currently he works as a contract physician in a company where he is sent to various hospitals. The number of victims of this doctor’s scam is so large that the police have created a special email address for people to contact the authorities and give them the necessary information.
