A former GP who touched and exposed himself to female patients has been struck off the medical register.

Mohan Babu was previously found guilty at Portsmouth Crown Court of four sexual assaults on three women when he was working in Havant, Hampshire.

The locum, then aged 47, was jailed for three and a half years in April 2024.

The Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) ruled his fitness to practice was impaired and imposed an immediate ban.

Babu targeted patients who were "significantly vulnerable" both physically and emotionally, prosecutors previously said.

The brother of one victim, a cancer patient who has since died, said Babu had "desecrated her final months".

A second victim told the court the assault had "ruined my life" while a third said she had gone on a "dark, downward decline".

The abuse took place between September 2019 and July 2021.
