An NHS Scotland doctor stalked a patient after a rock climbing accident, hounding him and his wife for more than five years while gifting them £30,000.
Dr Neitu Jeyasingh bombarded him with texts and phone calls and turned up at their home uninvited - and let herself in.
She would send him up to 400 messages per day and the patient and his wife even woke in the middle of the night to find Jeyasingh standing at the foot of their bed.
She left the man countless gifts of bibles and cash, giving him £30,000 between 2018 and 2023, and accessed their medical records without consent.
And she accessed their medical records without consent and repeatedly turned up at the houses after they moved addresses.
Jeyasingh, who worked for the NHS as a locum General Practitioner, also arrived at a hotel he was staying at in Manchester while away for work.
The details emerged today, Thursday, May 14, 2026, when Jeyasingh, who is originally from Indonesia, appeared in the dock at Paisley Sheriff Court.
The 52-year-old pleaded guilty to a charge of engaging in a course of conduct which caused the couple fear or alarm.
Jeyaisngh was also charged with illegally handing out 12 different types of medication, but her not guilty plea was accepted to that charge.
Prosecutor Jason Stark told the court that the couple lived on the Isle of Mull in 2018 and that the man had to attend his GP as he had been in a rock climbing accident.
Jeyasingh, of Dunfermline, Fife, was his GP and after seeing her about his injuries he began to receive messages and calls from her asking how he was.
The couple later moved to Paisley, Renfrewshire, during the Covid pandemic, where she continued to hound them.
The Procurator Fiscal Depute explained: "There were 300 to 400 messages per day. At one point he had 1600 messages unread.
"He agreed to meet her once a week to stop the messages and her attending at his home and work."
In 2021, they contacted police, who contacted Jeyasingh and told her to leave them alone, and she agreed.
But the harassment continued, with her leaving gifts of money and bibles on their doorstep and being caught on their Ring doorbell camera.
Mr Stark added: "The accused attended their home address, and let herself in, and they awoke to find the accused standing at the foot of her bed."
He said she had given them £30,000 in cash gifts, as well as a bike and a kayak, and that a lot of what she had sent them were "quotes and extracts from religious passages".
The court heard that she turned up at different homes and workplaces after they moved homes and jobs, which they had not told her about.
Sheriff GIllian Craig called for background reports to be prepared ahead of sentencing, adjourned the case until next month and continued the medic's bail.
Dr Jeyaisngh, who works regularly in the Highlands and Islands and in prisons, was also accused of supplying antibiotics Azithromycin, Doxycycline, Clarithomycin, Trimethoprim, Co-amoxiclav and Flucloxacillin.
She was also said to have given out Prochlorperazine, which is used to treat nausea, migraines, schizophrenia, psychosis and anxiety, and diarrhea medication Loperamide.
Court papers alleged she also supplied irritable bowel syndrome medication Mebeverine, and acid reflux and heartburn medication Omeprazole.
And she was accused of supplying Diazepam, which is commonly sold as Valium, and painkillers Tramadol and Codeine.
In 2024, she was fined £630 and had four penalty points added to her driving licence after admitting careless driving at Lerwick Sheriff Court.
