A physiotherapist, Bijoy Bridewin Thomas, is suspended in the UK after a drink-driving conviction and later launches a clinic in India, according to reports. The articles say the 45-year-old was convicted in March 2024 after driving erratically and being found with a blood-alcohol level more than three times the legal limit.
The outlets describe the incident and the resulting suspension, but differ in emphasis. One report focuses on the timeline from conviction to suspension and the stated reason behind his subsequent move. It also says Thomas claims that drink-driving is not treated with the same seriousness in India, framing his decision to open a new clinic there. The coverage centers on professional and regulatory consequences in the UK, while the Indian clinic opening and his comments provide the context for why he is continuing his work abroad.
Overall, the reports present the same core facts: a UK conviction for drink-driving due to impaired driving, a suspension afterward, and the launch of a clinic in India following the UK outcome, alongside Thomas’s public remarks about local attitudes to drink-driving.
