41-year-old doctor who drove family off cliff in US barred from practicing medicine
A US court has barred a 41-year-old Indian-origin doctor from practicing medicine as he is facing multiple attempted murder charges for driving his family off a cliff in California, a media report said.
Dharmesh A Patel, a radiologist, was charged with three counts of murder in January for intentionally driving a Tesla off a cliff with his wife and two children inside.
A motion by the Medical Board of California to bar Patel from practising medicine — especially if he were released on bail, was approved on Monday by San Mateo County Superior Court Judge Rachel Holt at a hearing, The Mercury News reported earlier this week.
