KGMU doctor on the run: Lucknow Police launch manhunt, move to seize assets in ‘conversion’ case

The medical university has already suspended the accused doctor in view of the serious allegations against him.

The complainant belongs to a different community, police said.

According to police, the complainant had alleged that the accused repeatedly raped her on the pretext of marriage. She alleged that she became pregnant in September last year and when she told the accused, he gave her abortion pills.

The complainant alleged that when she confronted the accused with these claims, he denied them. 

Police said they have contacted the woman. 

They are also gathering the accused’s academic records and personal details for possible leads that could help establish his whereabouts.

They had booked the accused under BNS sections 69 (sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means etc), 89 (causing miscarriage without woman’s consent) and 351 (criminal intimidation).
