Lucknow,

09 Jan (HS): Dr. Rameez Uddin Nayak, a junior resident at King George's Medical

University (KGMU) accused of sexually exploiting and forcing an abortion on the

pretext of marriage, will have his admission cancelled and will be barred from

further studies. The KGMU administration has sent a letter to the Director

General of Medical Education (DGME) regarding this matter. This information was

provided by KGMU Vice Chancellor Prof. Sonia Nityanand at a press conference on

Friday.

However,

information about the alleged aides who protected the resident doctor in the

pathology department accused of attempted religious conversion at KGMU has not

been released. The role of two professors, who were suspected during the investigation,

has not yet been clarified by the KGMU administration, nor has it given them a

clean chit. KGMU spokesperson KK Singh stated that nothing can be said about

this matter at this time.

It

is alleged that Dr. Rameez, a resident doctor in the pathology department,

entangled a female resident doctor in a love affair. When the marriage proposal

surfaced, the accused began pressuring her to convert to Islam. When the victim

resisted, she was threatened, leading to mental distress and she attempted suicide

by consuming sleeping pills. When her condition worsened, she was admitted to a

trauma center, where she recovered after treatment.

Following

the incident, the victim filed a complaint with the KGMU administration, the

police, the Chief Minister's IGRs portal, and the State Women's Commission. The

administration and investigating agencies swung into action after the incident

came to light.

KGMU

spokesperson KK Singh stated that two committees at KGMU were investigating the

matter. The Vishaka Committee is investigating the sexual harassment

allegations, while the investigation into the conversion case has been assigned

to a seven-member committee, which includes a retired Director General of

Police.

The

Vishaka Committee's investigation report was submitted to the Vice Chancellor

on Thursday. Following the Vishaka Committee's report, KGMU Vice Chancellor

Professor Sonia Nityananda sent a letter to the Director General of Medical

Education (DGME) regarding the cancellation of Dr. Rameez's admission.
