Police have laid a sexual assault charge against a New Brunswick doctor who already faced a separate allegation that he sexually assaulted a patient in Nova Scotia.
Dr. Sanjeev Sirpal allegedly sexually assaulted a person in Edmundston, a city in northwestern New Brunswick, on Aug. 7, 2025, according to court records. The charge was laid Friday. He was released on conditions pending future court appearances.
Nova Scotia RCMP announced Friday that Sirpal faces five charges of sexual assault.
“These new charges are also associated to his employment as a doctor in hospital emergency rooms,” the RCMP said in a news release that referred to both Edmundston and Sackville, in southeastern New Brunswick.
CBC News could only confirm Friday that one charge has been laid in court so far.
