UP Women’s Commission Chief Has Asserted That No Injustice Would Be Allowed In KGMU Conversion Case.

Lucknow; January 2026: Uttar Pradesh State Women’s Commission Chairperson Babita Singh Chauhan yesterday, 15th January 2026 have reiterated that the religious conversion and sexual harassment case at King George’s Medical University (KGMU) is under active investigation, with the Special Task Force (STF) probing the matter under the direct supervision of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Stressing that the issue is “not trivial” and involves serious allegations of love jihad and organised religious conversion, Chauhan asserted that the facts emerging so far point towards a larger criminal network rather than the actions of a lone individual.

While addressing the media reporters, Chauhan said the investigation was already underway, and there was no immediate requirement for filing a separate FIR related to sloganeering during the recent controversy at the university. “This is a matter of investigation, and the investigation is already underway. The STF is looking into it. Once the probe is complete, the matter will resolve itself”, she said, adding that the Chief Minister is receiving regular updates on the developments.

Referring to Uttar Pradesh Women’s Commission Vice Chairperson Aparna Bisht Yadav’s visit to KGMU, Chauhan said Aparna had gone to the campus to gather information and had no direct role in the investigation. “She went there to collect information. When she did not get it, her supporters might have raised slogans, but I do not think there is any need for an FIR in this regard”, she said.

Chauhan underlined the seriousness of the allegations against the accused, identified as Dr Rameez, stating that multiple indicators suggest his involvement went beyond isolated misconduct. “The situation cannot be taken lightly. It involves love jihad and religious conversion. Rameez had connections that extended far and wide. There are many things which indicate that he was not a petty criminal. A gang appears to have been operating for a long time, in what manner and to what extent is now slowly coming out”, she said, adding that arrests have already taken place as the investigation progresses.

Meanwhile, KGMU Vice-Chancellor Prof Sonia Nityanand confirmed that the accused student has been found guilty as per the Vishakha Committee report and will not be allowed to continue his course at the university. She further asserted that the Chief Minister was briefed about the committee’s findings after the university sought time to present the report.

“As per the Vishakha Committee report, the accused student has been found guilty, and the KGMU administration has decided that he cannot continue his course here”, she said. The controversy had escalated on January 09th after Aparna Bisht Yadav alleged that the KGMU administration obstructed her visit and attempted to suppress complaints of sexual harassment by women doctors. She maintained that her visit pertained not only to the case involving Dr Rameez but also to two other serious complaints brought to the commission’s notice earlier.

The case dated back in December 2025; King George’s Medical University (KGMU), one of Uttar Pradesh’s most prestigious medical institutions, is at the centre of a serious controversy following allegations of “love jihad” and forced religious conversion against a resident doctor. The case has triggered administrative action, police investigation and heightened scrutiny by intelligence agencies, given the gravity and sensitivity of the accusations.

An FIR has been registered against the accused resident doctor, identified as Rameez Uddin Nayak, a student of the MD Pathology department at KGMU. He has been accused by a fellow doctor of sexually exploiting her by falsely promising marriage, coercing her to convert to Islam, blackmailing her with private photographs and videos, and mentally harassing her to the point that she allegedly attempted suicide.

Following the emergence of the allegations, KGMU administration initiated an internal inquiry and conducted preliminary questioning of both the accused doctor and the complainant. University officials confirmed that both parties were summoned to the campus and asked to submit documents and evidence related to the case.

Given the seriousness of the charges and their potential impact on student safety and the institution’s reputation, the university is in the process of constituting a formal inquiry committee comprising senior faculty members and administrative officials. The committee is expected to conduct a detailed and impartial probe into all aspects of the case.

Notably, the matter surfaced at a time when KGMU was hosting its convocation, yet officials said no leniency was shown despite the academic engagements. All relevant departments were alerted immediately and the details of resident doctors were sought as part of heightened internal monitoring.

KGMU authorities have confirmed that Rameez Uddin Nayak has been suspended with immediate effect and barred from entering the university campus pending the outcome of the investigation.

According to the FIR, the complainant, who is also an MD Pathology student at KGMU and originally hails from Howrah in West Bengal, alleged that Rameez befriended her and later entered into a physical relationship by claiming that he was unmarried and intended to marry her.

When she began insisting on formalising the relationship, the accused imposed a condition that she must convert to Islam in order to marry him. A chance discovery later revealed that Rameez was already married and living with his wife in Lucknow’s Thakur Ganj area. After learning the truth, the complainant reportedly tried to distance herself from him, following which he allegedly threatened to make her private photos and videos viral.

The complainant has further alleged that she became pregnant in September and that the accused forced her to undergo a medical abortion against her will. Despite this, she claimed, the accused continued to exploit her physically while concealing his marital status and repeatedly renewing false promises of marriage. Police officials said these allegations significantly increase the seriousness of the case, as they involve not only sexual exploitation but also coercion, deception and criminal intimidation.

According to the complaint, the alleged pressure to convert and continued harassment caused severe mental trauma to the victim. On December 17, she allegedly attempted suicide by consuming a large quantity of sleeping pills. Her friends rushed her to a trauma centre, where doctors managed to save her life.

After being discharged, the woman informed her family. With the support of her father, she approached the police and lodged a formal complaint, leading to the registration of the FIR. Police said the case has been registered under multiple sections related to sexual exploitation, attempted forced religious conversion, cheating, criminal intimidation, threats to circulate private images, and abetment to suicide.

According to official records, Rameez Uddin Nayak is a native of Khatima in Uttarakhand’s Udham Singh Nagar district. He completed his MBBS from Agra Medical College, qualified NEET PG 2023 and secured admission to the MD Pathology programme at KGMU under the Backward Class Open Category.
