Social media recruited in search for sex assault victims

Police believe there may be more victims in an alleged assault involving two doctors – one from Ancaster – and they’re sending their message worldwide.

Toronto police say a second alleged victim has come forward in the sexual assault case.
This one involves only one of the accused: Amitabh Chauhan, 32, of Ancaster.
He and Sughanthan Kayilasanathan of Markham were charged with administering a noxious thing and gang sexual assault last week.
Police say a 23-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in a hotel room in downtown Toronto on February 13th, after something was slipped in her drink at a bar.

Detective Dan Luft has issued an appeal on social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
“I have information that shows these doctors have travelled abroad together and that one of these doctors — Dr. Chauhan — has travelled in other parts of the country of Canada.”
In fact, police say Chauhan was carrying a Saskatchewan driver’s licence when he was arrested.

Both of the accused remain in custody and are due back in court on Wednesday. Lawyers for the two doctors say their clients will plead not guilty.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Luff at 416-808-8393 or Crime Stoppers.
