Lucknow,

02 Jan (HS): A non-bailable warrant has been issued against KGMU resident

doctor Rameez Malik, accused of sexual exploitation and religious conversion.

The police had applied for this in the district court. Meanwhile, three police

teams engaged in searching for the accused are still empty-handed. DCP West

Vishwajeet Srivastava said that on Thursday, the victim's statement was

recorded before the magistrate. The police had applied for a non-bailable

warrant against the accused doctor, which has been issued by the court. To

arrest Rameez, the police raided Khatima in Uttarakhand, Bareilly and other

places, but were unsuccessful. His mobile phone is continuously switched off,

due to which the police is unable to find his exact location. The police is

also monitoring the mobile phones of Rameez's close associates.

Chowk

Inspector Nagesh Upadhyay stated that if the accused remains uncaptured even

after the non-bailable warrant is issued, confiscation proceedings will be

initiated against him. Police sources indicate that in her statement before the

magistrate, the victim reiterated all the allegations made in the FIR.

Case

at a glance: A few days ago, a female resident doctor at KGMU accused Dr.

Rameez Malik of sexual harassment and pressure to convert her religion. The

victim stated that they were friends. In August, Rameez arrived at her rented

room and sexually harassed her under the pretext of marriage. The victim

alleges that in September, she discovered she was pregnant. When she confronted

Rameez about this, he gave her medication and forced her to abort the child.

The

victim later learned that Rameez was married. He had converted a Hindu girl to

Islam and married her. When the victim confronted him about this, he

blackmailed her, pressuring her to convert as well. Distressed, the victim

attempted suicide by overdosing on medication on the morning of December 17.
