A Montgomery County physician has been arrested and charged with r**e and a s*xual assault that occurred in a Silver Spring urgent care facility.

Two female victims visited the urgent care on separate dates and allege that Dr. Ishtiaq Ahmed Malik groped, inappropriately touched, and s*xually assaulted the victims during routine examinations. Each of the assaults occurred at the Advanced Walk-in Urgent Care located at 10800 Lockwood Dr. in Silver Spring.

Detectives from the Montgomery County Department of Police – Special Victims Investigations Division (SVID) suspect that there may be more victims of the 58-year-old doctor and are asking for them to come forward.

SVID detectives requested and received a warrant for Dr. Malik’s arrest, and he was taken into custody on Thursday, February 16, 2023, outside of his medical practice on Lockwood Dr.

Dr. Malik has been charged with second-degree r**e, second-degree assault and fourth-degree s*x offense. Malik is currently being held at the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit, where awaits a bond hearing.

Based on the above incidents, SVID detectives believe that there may be additional victims of s*xual assault by Ishtiaq Ahmed Malik that have not contacted police. Detectives are urging anyone who believes themselves to be a victim to call the Special Victims Investigations Division at (240) 773-5400.
