Sushant Singh Rajput’s father, KK Singh, has denounced the late actor’s psychotherapist Susan Walker to the Medical Council of India for “professional misconduct”. In her complaint, dated September 7, Singh accused her of violating the client confidentiality code, after she told the media that Sushant was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
The complaint stated that Susan violated Regulation 8.2 of the Indian Medical Council Regulations (Professional Conduct, Etiquette and Ethics), 2002. The regulation stipulates that a medical professional may not reveal a patient’s secrets, except in three cases: in a court of law under the orders of the presiding judge, in circumstances where there is a serious and identified risk to a specific person / community and in case of notifiable diseases.
Singh, who filed the complaint as Sushant’s “heir and legal representative,” sought action against Susan. “As such, it is clear that Ms. Susan Walker has waived her confidentiality without any legal basis and without even consulting the complainant and, as such, has committed professional misconduct under Regulation 7.14 of the 2002 Regulations “he wrote in the letter to the medical council.
Furthermore, Regulation 2.2 of the 2002 Regulations also requires that physicians not disclose anything disclosed by patients in a confidential manner. Furthermore, the responsibility for proving that the disclosure was made with any authority rests with the physician in view of Section 111 of the Indian Evidence Act 1872. In view of this, it is humbly requested that the necessary proceedings be initiated against the Ms. Susan Walker under Regulation 8 of the 2002 Regulations, ”she added.
