India-born surgeon Jayant Patel, nicknamed “Doctor Death,” returned to Australia to face charges relating to the deaths of more than a dozen patients.

Patel was taken into police custody in the United States after being extradited. On Monday, he was granted a conditional bail by a Queensland court after arriving in a Qantas Airways flight from U.S. The man was escorted by police officers from Australia and brought to a police watch house.

Patel, who will be back in the court in September this year, has been required to give in his passport, report to the authorities three times a week, not to come close to any international departure points and inhabit in Queensland, in a place approved by the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The US citizen is facing 14 charges, including manslaughter for the death of three patients in his care. The others include grievous bodily harm, fraud and negligence. If convicted on those charges, he faces three life sentences.

In line with Australian police, Jayant Patel was employed at a hospital in Bundaberg, a city located almost190 miles north of Brisbane, but didn’t reveal to the medical staff the fact that he had been restricted for carelessness by medical boards in Oregon, as well as New York.

The judge granted Patel bail and ordered that he be released on Tuesday.
