Siddiqui had no adequate means of anaesthesia, so he caused his victims extreme [[pain]].<ref name="prosser2024" />
"Although he lost his license to practise medicine, he continued to perform non-therapeutic [[circumcision]] on young boys. Siddiqui of Anchor Crescent, Birmingham, admitted twelve counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, eight counts of wrongly administrating a prescription only medicine, and five counts of cruelty to a person under sixteen." The charges relate to 21 boys and date between 5 April 2014 and 31 January 2019.<ref name="prosser2024" />
Sidiqui is alleged to have used a "rusty medical tool" and the Circumstraint infant immobilizer device that is considered unacceptable in practice by the National Health Service.<ref name="evans2024">{{REFnews
