A junior resident doctor from King George's Medical University (KGMU) in Lucknow has gone missing, nearly a week after serious allegations of sexual exploitation, blackmail, and attempted forced religious conversion were levelled against him. The police, unable to trace the accused, secured a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against him on Thursday.
Charges and Police Investigation
The case stems from a complaint filed by a nursing aspirant at the Chowk police station. The First Information Report (FIR) invokes several serious sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including sexual intercourse obtained by deceitful means, criminal intimidation, and mental harassment. Critically, it also includes charges under the stringent UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Chowk, Raj Kumar Singh, stated that the accused was explicitly directed not to leave the city during the investigation but violated that order. The survivor's statement has been recorded before a magistrate and is awaiting review before being handed to the investigation officer.
A Trail of Deceit and Coercion
According to the detailed complaint, the accused doctor befriended the survivor in July 2025, presenting himself as being from Uttarakhand. He developed a relationship with her on the promise of marriage. Their physical relationship began in August 2025.
The situation escalated when the woman discovered she was pregnant in September 2025. She alleges the accused administered medication to terminate the pregnancy. In a further shocking revelation, she learned in February that he had married another woman, allegedly after forcing her conversion.
When the survivor pressed for marriage herself in October, the accused allegedly demanded her religious conversion as a precondition. He also threatened to leak her private photographs and videos. The relentless harassment and threats reportedly drove the woman to attempt suicide on December 17.
Background Check and Institutional Action
As the accused remains untraceable, police are digging into his past. Investigators have contacted his wife to ascertain if she was coerced into conversion before their marriage. Efforts are also on to trace his academic and personal history, including his tenure as an MBBS student at Agra Medical College and claims of him having contracted two marriages earlier. Police are trying to contact one of his former wives to determine if her religious conversion was voluntary.
In response to the scandal, KGMU has suspended the doctor and restricted his entry to the campus, permitting it only for inquiry-related proceedings. The Chief Minister's office has taken cognisance of the serious matter and directed a swift investigation.
