A serious controversy related to sexual harassment and alleged love jihad has come to light in Lucknow-based King George Medical University (KGMU).

When the committee questioned the accused about his marriage, he said that he was not married.

However, other colleagues from the same department told the committee that the accused was married. After this, the college administration asked for an affidavit from the accused in writing that he was not married, while the victim was asked to present evidence related to her allegations.

Doctor Rameez suspended with immediate effect

Considering the seriousness of the matter, the Internal Complaints Committee of KGMU took it into cognizance under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace Act 2013. According to the order of Dean Academics Professor Virendra Atma, the presence of the accused doctor on duty pending the investigation could have affected the fair investigation.

During the suspension period, the accused will not discharge any official work and will not be able to enter the university or hospital premises without written permission. He will be allowed to be present only in the investigation proceedings and the headquarters will remain KGMU, Lucknow.

What is the whole matter and the current situation

According to the complaint, the accused doctor is accused of hiding the truth of his marriage and luring a Hindu female resident doctor into a love affair and later pressurizing her to convert. Due to this, the matter has reached the allegations of Love Jihad.

The college administration had given the accused time till today to submit the affidavit, but since this morning the accused is neither available in the college premises nor at his home. At present, the Vishakha Committee investigation is going on and the KGMU administration says that an impartial decision will be taken on the basis of all the facts and evidence.
