In a significant escalation of a high-profile case, Lucknow police have initiated proceedings to attach the properties of an absconding resident doctor from King George's Medical University (KGMU). The doctor, identified as Rameezuddin, faces serious allegations from two women colleagues, including sexual exploitation, forced religious conversion, and causing miscarriage.
Properties Sealed as Hunt Intensifies
On Wednesday, authorities took concrete action by pasting attachment notices on three properties linked to the accused. The targeted properties include a flat in Lucknow's Hussainabad area, his ancestral home in Pilibhit district of Uttar Pradesh, and another house located in Khatima, Uttarakhand. Police have stated clearly that if Rameezuddin fails to surrender within the stipulated one-month period, these assets will be formally attached.
Investigation Uncovers Potential Third Victim
The scope of the investigation is expanding rapidly. Based on crucial inputs gathered during the examination of the two initial survivors, investigators now strongly believe that the accused doctor may have targeted more women, particularly from the medical community. Police are actively verifying the existence of a third woman doctor who is alleged to have been forcibly converted by Rameezuddin.
Senior officers are meticulously examining technical and documentary evidence related to this potential third victim. This evidence trail includes call detail records, digital communications, travel history, and academic links with the accused. Police teams are currently making efforts to trace this woman to officially record her statement. Sources indicate she is also a doctor and was in close contact with Rameezuddin for a considerable length of time.
Multi-City Raids to Apprehend the Accused
With the accused still at large, the police net has been cast wide. Special teams from Lucknow are conducting coordinated raids across multiple locations, including Uttarakhand, Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh, Noida, and the national capital, Delhi. The primary objective remains to trace and apprehend Rameezuddin, whose actions have sent shockwaves through the medical fraternity.
The case underscores grave concerns about the safety of women professionals within institutional settings and the severe legal consequences for crimes involving sexual exploitation and forced religious conversion. The police's decisive move to attach properties signals a no-tolerance approach as they work to deliver justice for the survivors.
