Nurse accused of molesting male relative of patient at Singapore hospital

A nurse allegedly molested a male relative of a patient at Raffles Hospital in North Bridge Road. The incident occurred around 7.30pm on June 18 while the nurse was in a hospital ward toilet. Elipe Siva Nagu, 34, is facing a molestation charge, with details of the victim redacted from court documents. Raffles Hospital has suspended Elipe from nursing duties and his case will be mentioned in court on July 7. If convicted, he could face up to three years in jail, a fine, caning, or a combination of these penalties. The hospital is taking the allegations seriously and is focused on patient safety and well-being. The investigation is ongoing, and further details cannot be provided at this time. The hospital will closely monitor the situation and take appropriate actions as the investigation progresses.

Correction: The earlier version of the story incorrectly stated that the victim was a patient, not a male relative. Apologies for the error.
