Calgary MP Darshan Kang has lost an appeal of a confidential House of Commons investigation that found he harassed a female staff member in his constituency office.
Kang resigned from the Liberal caucus last August after denying allegations he inappropriately touched and harassed former staff member Rhea Bassi.
A legal panel has now affirmed the findings of an investigation that “partially substantiated” the complaint, including that Kang “tricked” Bassi into visiting his Ottawa apartment in June 2017 where he repeatedly tugged at her jacket, caressed her hands and tried to massage her feet; the panel also affirmed that on a subsequent occasion, Kang persistently tried to enter Bassi’s Ottawa hotel room, despite her refusals.
