EAST LANSING, Mich. --- The MSU Department of Police and Public Safety (DPPS) is
providing an update to the sexual assault investigation involving former resident physician
Arpit Saxena.
Saxena was arraigned earlier today, September 25, 2026, in 54B District Court in East
Lansing. He is being held on a 2-million-dollar bond and has been ordered to surrender his
driver's license and passport and is prohibited from having contact with the victims.
Saxena remains lodged at the Ingham County Jail pending a bond hearing scheduled for
Monday, September 28, 2026.

or otherwise concerned, we kindly ask you to contact DPPS and allow us an opportunity to
listen to your experience. A phone hotline and email tipline has been established for
anyone who would like to come forward and file a police report, ask questions about
