Indian-origin doctor denies assault claims after Miami airport arrest news

Dr. Ranjith Ramasamy, 45, a former University of Miami professor, was taken into custody at Miami International Airport on three counts of sexual battery. In a video statement released through his legal team, he called the accusations false and expressed confidence that the legal process would clear his name.

The arrest stems from allegations that have not been detailed in public court records. Ramasamy, who specializes in male infertility and sexual medicine, resigned from his university position following the charges. His attorney emphasized that his client is cooperating fully with authorities.

Ramasamy has practiced medicine for over a decade and has been involved in numerous research publications. Colleagues at the university expressed surprise at the news, noting that he was a respected figure in his field. The case is pending in Miami-Dade County court, with a hearing expected in the coming weeks.

The doctor's video statement, posted on social media, marks his first public response since the arrest. In it, he urged the public to reserve judgment until all evidence is presented. His legal team has filed a motion to set bail, which was denied at an initial appearance.
