A doctor who sexually assaulted two patients during medical appointments has been put behind bars.

GP Muhammed Iqbal was employed by insurance companies to carry out examinations on people who had been injured in car accidents.

He used his position to grope two women’s breasts and rubbed against one of them with an erection during their examinations.

The doctor, who had a GP practice in Ireland, would regularly travel to the UK to work at clinics in Sunderland, Newcastle and Darlington on behalf of insurance firms.
