Supreme Court Denies Bail to Doctor in Assault Case
A doctor, who was convicted for assaulting his daughter, asked to be let out of jail, but the court said no.
The court believed the daughter's words about what happened, and thought the doctor's actions were very wrong.
Even though the doctor's lawyer said that it may take a while for the next court to look at the case, the doctor will stay in jail.
The court said he acted like a "beast" after drinking.
The Supreme Court refused to suspend a cardiologist's sentence for sexually assaulting his daughter.
The court cited the severity of the crime and the daughter's testimony as reasons for denying relief.
The doctor's lawyer claimed the daughter's testimony was tutored.
The court noted the appeal against conviction would not be heard soon.
The doctor was under the influence of alcohol when committing the act.
