Kuala Lumpur, Sep 9 (ANI): A Malay kindergarten teacher, who took her feverish pet squirrel to a veterinary clinic for treatment, had her breasts groped instead by the attending veterinarian.

According to the Harian Metro, the veterinarian had asked the 27-year old woman to place the squirrel inside her blouse to keep it warm, given its "erratic body temperature".

But the squirrel got stuck on her bra strap, when the 52-year-old veterinarian asked her to take the animal out.

While helping the woman remove the squirrel, the veterinarian saw her breasts, started praising her figure, and allegedly told her to take care of her body and "beautiful breasts".

Ampang OCPD Asst Comm Abd Jalil Hasan said that the veterinarian later began to demonstrate to her how to massage her breasts.

"He then took advantage by groping and sucking the victim's breasts. The victim struggled to release herself before the doctor finally let her go," the Star Online quoted him as saying.

"He told her she need not pay for the squirrel's treatment and asked her to come again. But she decided to lodge a police report," he added.

ACP Abd Jalil Hasan added that the veterinarian was arrested on September 7.

However, the squirrel died shortly after returning home. (ANI)
