According to a recent media report in the Times of India, the driver alleged that the doctor and his friends assaulted him and urinated in his mouth and on his body. The doctor and his staff used to travel in his vehicle.
Detailing the incident, the driver told the daily, "On November 4 evening, the doctor asked me to transport food and other items from a friend's house to a club in Satanur near Bagalur, where he and around 12 friends were partying. I took the food items to the club and served them. The doctor asked me to go back to his hospital and bring another doctor. As I was getting late to go home and meet my relatives, I told the other doctor to hurry up. But he made me wait for more than an hour and I objected to that. He came out at 10.30pm. Upon reaching the club, he told the doctor that I insulted him in front of everyone."
