A GP has been given the green light to return to practice after a court found an AHPRA investigator had edited evidence used by the Medical Board of Australia to suspend him under emergency powers.

The doctor – known under the pseudonym Dr Shah – was originally charged with trespass and assault after a practice receptionist told police he had broken into her home and groped her.

The day after the alleged attack, she sent him a text message: “You sexually assaulted me in my car.

“And you broke and entered my premises. Other people are aware of this situation. From this point on, if you are not 100% professional towards me in the workplace, I’ll be filing a police report and having you charged.
