A former doctor has appeared in court charged with 39 offences over an 'unsafe and unsanitary' mobile circumcision service he allegedly operated across the UK.

A former doctor has appeared in court charged with 39 offences over an "unsafe and unsanitary" mobile circumcision service he allegedly operated across the UK. Mohammad Siddiqui, 58, was a practising doctor when he started visiting homes by appointment to carry out circumcisions for non-therapeutic, religious reasons, Southwark Crown Court heard on Wednesday.

30pm and, minutes into it, Siddiqui said: " planted by the police, and you will come across that - bloody scissors, the skin, all planted by the police, and you will come across that in the evidence." Judge Noel Lucas KC reprimanded Siddiqui, and said: "It is not conventional for anyone - I mean anyone - to interrupt the prosecution's speech." When Siddiqui attempted to speak again, Judge Lucas said firmly "no, Dr Siddiqui".
