Police in Lucknow have arrested an intern from King George Medical University. Authorities took this action following serious allegations of sexual exploitation against a nursing student.
Fresh arrest compounds KGMU's troubles
The Qaiserbagh police station handled this sensitive case. Station House Officer Anjani Kumar Mishra confirmed the arrest details. Officers apprehended the accused near Red Cross Hospital in Qaiserbagh on Thursday.
Police produced the intern before a local court. Judicial authorities subsequently ordered his transfer to jail. This development adds to the university's growing list of controversies.
Charges under new legal framework
Investigators have filed multiple charges against the intern. These include serious offenses under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Section 69 addresses sexual intercourse through deceitful means.
Additional charges involve extortion and cheating by personation. The nursing student formally registered her complaint on December 29 last year. Her detailed statement helped police build their case.
Pattern of exploitation emerges
The victim alleges the intern exploited her for several months. He repeatedly promised marriage during this period. Both individuals belong to the Muslim community according to police records.
The nursing student studies at a Lucknow institution. She originally comes from another district. A mutual friend introduced her to the accused intern.
Their relationship developed gradually according to her account. The intern eventually initiated physical intimacy. He frequently took her to his Qaiserbagh apartment.
Threats and broken promises
Problems began when the student inquired about marriage plans. The intern suddenly refused to honor his commitments. He then allegedly threatened to share intimate photographs online.
This coercive behavior prompted her to approach authorities. She decided to file a formal police complaint. Her courage enabled law enforcement to take swift action.
Broader campus concerns surface
This arrest follows another troubling case at KGMU. Police recently arrested junior resident doctor Rameezuddin. He faces allegations of forced religious conversion and sexual exploitation.
That case sparked campus unrest and broader discussions. Some groups raised concerns about possible organized networks. University administrators continue addressing these serious allegations.
Rameezuddin's parents also faced arrest in that investigation. All three remain in judicial custody currently. These consecutive cases have put KGMU under intense scrutiny.
University officials now confront multiple challenges simultaneously. They must ensure campus safety while maintaining academic operations. The administration faces growing pressure from various stakeholders.
Law enforcement agencies continue their investigations diligently. They examine possible connections between these separate incidents. The community watches developments closely as facts emerge.
