Portsmouth GP jailed for fraud after 'six weeks of madness' to fund his gambling addiction
Dr Rumi Chhapia was "seduced" by his gambling addiction, Portsmouth Crown Court heard
Dr Rumi Chhapia, 45, stole the funds from a company that oversaw a group of GP practices in Portsmouth. The father-of-one from Southsea stole the funds from the healthcare group in 65 transfers during a 41-day period in 2020 to pay off slot machine and roulette debts, the court was told. "Your duty as a GP should have been to provide the very best of care to your patients, that should have been the pinnacle of your care, but you were dishonest," he told Chhapia.A statement from the PPCA read to the court said staff had needed counselling and "the people of Portsmouth had lost a chunk of NHS money which could have been used to benefit their care".
