Canadian authorities say two doctors drugged a 23-year-old woman then took her to a downtown Toronto hotel room and raped her.
The victim told police she met Dr, Amitabh Chauhan and Dr. Suganthan Kayilasanathan last Sunday at a bar in the downtown hotel for some career advice.
She said the men then took her to a second bar, and while there, they put an unknown substance in her drink.
The victim told police the doctors then brought her back to the hotel and gang raped her.
Chauchan and Kayilasanathan, both 32, were each charged with administering a noxious thing and gang sexual assault.
Both doctors are scheduled to appear in Old City Hall court on Saturday.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackCalm down, people. Nothing’s confirmed yet, every accusation is exactly that and we weren’t presented with and solid facts yet.
Until then, I’d hold off on passing judgment until we get some confirmation. Anyone can go to the cops and accuse anyone of anything. Even if the woman is making this whole thing up, the publicity thus far has already put a dent in their careers.
Agreed, let the courts decide what happened versus the media.
Mor_fiyah
You you right. We don’t know the victim’s motive yet. I think too much publicity given to this news.
I totally agree. its easy to sit here and judge with out knowing the exact details. If they did what they are accused of, then may god help them. Let the case make its way through the system to find out what really happened.
Listen Sue, Lay and a-said..you are all in mates of those two guys; or else friends. please don`t over act here on this issue; you know very well this is true and you are now trying to support the two guys. Is that so easy for especially a Tamil woman of age 23 to simply come forward and say against her own chastity in the public. Listen there cannot be smoke without fire. If they swallowed too much salt then they must drink tanks of water. How can anyone go to these doctors hereafter for plastic surgery or else even for an ache. No woman would definitely go to them. Who knows they may even be bisexual. Then young men also cannot go to them. So these are things that we public are concerned. Must BAN their practice for ever, and teach the whole medical society a lesson so that no one ever repeats. We hope the JUDGE Will provide the severe punishment to ban them completely. Otherwise the sovereignty of the MEDICAL PROFESSION is gone to dogs, is what the judgment project to the public. No excuse at all. Period. If these three aforementioned guys have daughters then they would not come and write like this. You by now know who they are.
If the facts are proven for the offences that they are accused of without bribes to the judges or to the legal system, they are what I called a true DISGRACE TO THE INDIAN RACE AND COMMUNITY. WHERE DID YOUR VALUES AND UPBRINGING FROM YOUR PARENTS GO???? YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION AND YOU SHOULD BE DEPORTED BACK TO YOUR HOME COUNTRIES IF YOU WERE NOT BORN IN CANADA AND LET YOUR COUNTRY PEOPLE DEAL WITH YOU. TOTAL DISGRACE!! MAYBE YOU SHOULD GET THE SAME AS TO WHAT YOU ARE ACCUSED OFF….THEN YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE. How about that????
I went to college with Suganthan Kayilasanathan and these allegations don’t surprise me in the least. Him and his friends would prey on girls. They’d joke about rape etc..
I also know Suganthan as a friend. I mean…he was a party person but recently said, he’s looking to settle down and find a girl…
I know he’s got his wild side but is this possible??? man, you think u know someone and then this…
I still wont beleive until the facts are on the table because both are pleading not guilty, and they both know the extent to which everything will be investigated so lets see….
Skep- calm down. Let the police do the detective work and the prosecution do the accusing. I didn’t know you had a direct line to the police and that they told you the victim was Tamil? What else did they tell you? Do share! These are two guys who have accomplished a lot. Getting into plastic surgery is the most difficult task for any medical student and getting a Canadian licence with a Caribbean education is even harder so the fact that these are 2 hard working men and that it is the police who allege there were drugs involved and NOT THE VICTIM makes me highly suspicious. We will just have to wait and see when the trial goes to court. Until then calm down people.
I love the way people above are blaming the victim and saying that she is getting too much attention. Suganthan had to go to Carribean because he could just buy his way there. Who the fuck cares if the other guy did plastics and is “accomplished”. I believe in due process, but this story obviously has some merit if there is another accuser and they are willing to investigate the trip to Panama.
As an Indo-Canadian physician, who happens to have met Suganthan before, all I can say is that these motherfuckers are a disgrace to the medical profession and the hippocratic oath, and the Indian culture. The truth is between you and god. You dug your own holes. For every woman out there, including our mothers, sisters, and daughters….ROT IN HELL!
I went to school at RMC with Dr. Chauhan and when I informed some fellow grads about this arrest, nobody seemed that surprised, which surprised me.
Obviously, this is not proof or guily (or anything at all) but it doesn’t bode well if people aren’t exactly shocked at the charges. In any event, the last thing the Canadian military needs is more stories like this.
I’m sure justice will more or less be served in this case, once the facts are laid bare.

One should not make judgement with personality of peoples, instead facts and evidence must be present.
Couple of things that went to thoughts, here is my 2 cent…
Why would a girl want career advise in a bar, then why goto the second bar, obviously possibility of getting hammerred drunk. Then how is it possible to sneak in a unconscious girl to a hotel, isnt there cameras around?
If she was conscious then why did she go to the hotel, would any of you girls outthere do that?
I think there maybe foul play, but the girl is not fully innocent.
This is directed lakalaklalaka:
So you don’t think we should jump to conclusions about the two physicians with now 3 female accusers, yet you offer questions about the girls motives? I don’t even understand half of your gibberish, but let me tell you that date rape drugs do not render people completely unconscious – but feeling unwell. This girl, might have agreed to one drink and then been completely out of it.
So you think there is “foul play” but the girl is not fully innocent?? What the hell makes you say that?!! Once again, we cannot blame victims and act as if in cases of possible rape, the girl does something to deserve it. Your views are stupid and archaic.
So thanks for your fucking “2 cent” – read a fucking book and learn some English while your at it, moron.
I went to school with suganthan and i am not at all surprised about these allegations, i saw this coming 4 years ago. He was always disrespecting women on the island and absolutely vulgar in his description of his lude acts with them, he had a girlfriend back home and the women that dated him on the island was a personal friend who said he was very aggressive sexually towards her. I will always remember what she endured. I felt horrible for her.
Hi, I met suganthan through a friend. As a woman, I instantly felt there was something not quite right about him. Thank you Jessica for confirming my instincts.
Do we have any info about the victim? How is she doing?
Wow.. Not only is this country loaded with different races and cultures, but holy crap are there a lot of opinions. I personally grew up with sugan and the rest of his family. I have always considered them family friends since childhood. Welived in the same complex in scarborough for years. Although we have not spoken in a few years, I never thought I would hear his name involved in something like this. Please do not jump to conclusions until all evidence is presented and the police investigate. As a Canadian he is entitled to that just as we are entitled to our opinions. If they are found guilty than may they suffer to the full extent of the law.
To his parents and brothers and sister,I hope these are false accusations and be strong throughout this ordeal.
From the middle of unit #83
I wondered what to do and still am. Like many, these charges DONT SURPRISE ME. I met suganthan 5 years ago and underneath his pseudo nerdy exterior, I could sense a predator in heat so I ran as fast as I could. He was always ADAMANT ON MIXING THE DRINK OR SHOWING OFF ONE OF HIS DUMB CONCOCTIONS. If you blinked twice or acted like a bimbo good luck with your life. I dont know if my experience with him would be of any help to the investigation since it was from a few years back. Anyhow people who are screaming evidence; LOOK AT THESE COMMENTS.
if it talks like a duck, acts like a duck….yah.
Just because the guy had bad experience with women doesnt prove him to be guilty, only the law shall decide on his fate, not all these comments. We will see more as the case unwraps, but i suspect highly this is going to be settled out of court. The girl is going to widthdraw the case and drop all charges, my predicitons.
What is current situation with the case concerning these 2 men? I understand that the trial was yesterday…
To natasha
I had a similar experience with him and I ran far away from him too. When I told someone about it and it got back to him he was angry called me an f–ing bitch and told me he’ll come after me some day. He’s scary and dangerous, when he left the island i was relieved.
To Jessica
I also had a similar experience to you. He’s extremely sexual…the most agressive guy I have ever met. He will wine and dine you then expect to be physically satisified by the end of the nite. If you don’t oblige, out comes the temper thank god I hadn’t seen the full extent of it like you had.
I went to school with Suganthan and while I’m not surprised about the allegations they are just that, allegations. I’d like to say that I have faith in the justice system but from personal experience I don’t. It’s not their fault however, nothing is an exact science and people have to acknowledge that actions speak louder than words. Just because this doctor isn’t found guilty doesn’t make all the other above comments about his treatment of women untrue or less valid. CLEARLY his actions are reflective of a man who needs a reality check on how to treat women. I’m not ready to judge him just yet and I refuse to believe that the police are going on ‘word of mouth’…they have some proof or something….as someone accurately described – where there’s smoke…
These two docs may be found innocent in a court of law, but that doesn’t clear the stigma that will forever be associated with their names.
They obviously did something they shouldn’t have, whether there’s enough evidence to prove what exactly it was is another story.
I don’t want to say I know these people because I don’t. I do however know other girls who have had encounters with one of them and lets just say that all the above comments are accurate.
God help their parents.
Annoyed – This one is for you
It’s obvious you know these guys and your defense of their ‘accomplishments’ is admirable. BUT, being accomplished doesn’t make you above the law. It doesn’t even allow the benefit of the doubt when you’re accused of what these two are accused of. The police have CHARGED them with a crime, its time for you to accept that something with your friend(s) isn’t right. Yes, the justice system will dictate their fate but NOT their innocence. Have you read the comments from other WOMEN? There is continuity here. Women feel threatened but these people. Guilty in court of law or not, there’s something fishy about the consistency of the comments.
I applaude you for your friendship, but you’re looking for a silver lining that’s just not there.
After reading these comments, thought I shld share my experience. I met Suganthan a few months ago…we spent the majority of our time in his hotel room, sure he tried to kiss me a few times but when he understood that I wasn’t one that played around he respected that. I didnt feel he was a threat to my safety in any way. He did more than just ‘wine and dine’ me yet there was no pressure…I found him to be quite caring actually. Perhaps he’s matured since his med school days…
I am not saying that he’s completely not at fault but I am saying that it takes 2 to tango.
I simply want to tell you that I am new to blogging and site-building and actually liked your web blog. Almost certainly I’m planning to bookmark your blog . You actually come with wonderful article content. Bless you for sharing with us your website.
Does anyone know any recent details of this case?
This guy Suganthan he is something else. First of all he had numerous hidden cameras installed in his previous condo(pervert), he cheats on his gf’s, he had problems with the law before when he was a teenager. His dad intervened so that he wouldnt be charged with possession of a gun. He has never been held accountable for his actions. Ontario law is a joke.
The heard about that hidden camera thing too. Some people just never learn.
Hi, I actually dated Sugs and he was sexually agressive. He use to get in blow out fights with me because I wouldn’t sleep with him. I am so upset to hear that he had cameras installed in his condo and that scares me as I did sleep over there many a times.
What bothers me the most is that we became friends after i decided he just wasn’t the one for me and to learn of cameras installed? How do you know this? I feel sick to my stomach.
I also found him on facebook under a false name of Shahan Silva and all of the friends he has listed were in high school I confronted him about it and he made a lame excuse. I’m very disappointed ,
Apparently, according to someone who had knew him, the guy stated there was 16 hidden cameras in his unit. eek.
Brutal, that is just awful…Who is this that knows about these cameras? How would someone find out about this? Jesus lord, I hope this is just talk.
I’m a friend of Sugathans brother, who by the way is nothing like the guy, and the camera thing is true. The exact number I cannot confirm but I say for certain that while he may appear normal on the surface there is something up with him. He’s been involved with gangs and did get off gun posession charges because of his lawyer father.
Now, being on facebook under another name to target women puts the man in a completely different league. This man is a doctor that we’re supposed to trust? No wonder they call it the HYPOCRATIC OATH!
All I have to say is Karma is a Bitch!
I had an encounter with Suganthan when I was 16yrs old. Suganthan was attending University at that time. I was blinded by his “innocent” appearance.
I wanted to report my ordeal to the police but I didn’t have enough information about him to make a report (full name, tel# etc), so I kept it to myself all these years.
He’s a predator and based on my experience with him he should be convicted of RAPE!!!!!!!!
wow, Scarborough that’s awful…well now you know more about him… how did you find this blog? I have been wanting to follow this case but clearly they had paid to keep things quiet.
I grew to know him personally and can share some stories as well. Savage.
Saint John,
I had met him briefly and felt there was something up with him. Please share your stories so more girls will be aware of his predator ways and those who have already unfortunately experienced this, can relate and not feel they are not alone in this.
Also does anyone have an update on this case?
Any updates for this case?
I wasn’t too surprised when I read Suganthan’s story last year. I knew him shortly after he moved to sj but had no idea about his hidden cameras at his condo until I found some comments from different websites last year.
Saint john, when did you date him? I wasn’t dating with him but been to his place many times too.
I just found this blog too late..

Hey SJ
I guess it would have been about 4 years ago now? maybe 3 and a half. I’m very disturbed about the cameras and continue to check the internet for info on him but nothing. It’s an awful feeling.
I am the officer in charge of the investigation. The matter is still before the courts. It is a public record that a preliminary hearing has been completed and the matter has been committed to Superior Court for trial, but no date has been set.
There is a publication ban on the evidence of the prelim, victim identity etc. Thus I can’t speak further on the matter.
After reading the blogs on this site, some of the entries cause me concern.
I encourage anyone with information relating to the behaviour of either Amitabh CHAUHAN or Suganthan KAYILASANATHAN to contact me, as we believe there may be more victims

this is quite comical – the “Detective In Charge” is trolling the blogosphere for evidence 2 years after the fact! This guy Luff is some piece of work.
It clearly shows the weakness of his case if he is looking for more crap at this stage. The trial will reveal the truth I bet.
I know Toronto Police will stop at nothing to frame a guy if they have to but this is sheer desperation.
