A doctor with a practice in Bergenfield has been arrested and accused of inappropriately touching a patient and three employees, authorities said Thursday.

Dr. Raja K. Jagtiani, 54, was arrested at his Dumont home, said Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli. He was charged with five counts of criminal sexual contact, three counts of harassment by offensive touching, and one count of simple assault, Molinelli said.

A woman who works at Jagtiani’s office told the Bergenfield police that Jagtiani touched one of her breasts and bit her cheek while they were working July 25, Molinelli said.

Three other alleged victims were identified as authorities conducted their investigation, Molinelli said.

Jagtiani was released from the Bergen County Jail Wednesday after posting $20,000 bail, Molinelli said.
