However, this is not the first time that Lal Singh has touched the collar of a doctor. Earlier, he was accused of misbehaving with medical staff at various hospitals. I n February, this year, Singh was accused by a woman doctor of mental harassment after he rebuked her for not wearing her lab coat.
