Lucknow: A resident doctor of King George's Medical University (KGMU) on Monday lodged a complaint at the Uttar Pradesh State Women's Commission, alleging her colleague, who is already married, trapped her in a love affair and pressurised her to convert her religion. Workers of the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Bajrang Dal staged a protest on the campus demanding immediate action.
Commission vice chairperson, Aparna Yadav, has assured of action against the accused while KGMU Vice Chancellor Prof Sonia Nityanand said that the Vishaka Committee will investigate the matter and strict action would be taken if the doctor is found guilty.
Commission chairperson Babita Chauhan said the victim has filed a formal complaint on Monday. "Till now, we did not receive any written complaint so no action had been taken. Now, an impartial investigation will be conducted with the cooperation of the police and the culprit will surely be punished," she added.
Later, Aparna Yadav, said, "It is India's misfortune that Hindu daughters are being targeted in 'love jihad' cases. We will ensure the arrest of the accused doctor. The victim was frightened and has approached the Women's Commission. All those involved in this incident will be punished. We will not allow 'love jihad' against the daughters of India. Such individuals will be reduced to ashes".
Yadav further said that it has come to light that the accused doctor's first marriage was to a Hindu woman, and he had forced her to convert her religion. Now, he was pressuring the victim for conversion, she added. "I have informed Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath about the case. An FIR will now be registered in this matter. The victim has also filed a complaint with the KGMU proctor," she said.
The Vishva Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal workers, who protested on the KGMU campus, raised slogans and demanded that the accused doctor be dismissed. They alleged the victim had even attempted suicide. No case has yet been registered against the accused doctor till now.
Notably, 'love jihad' term is a conspiracy theory used by right-wing groups wherein they claim Muslim men lure non-Muslim women through feigned love and deception, force them to convert to Islam and marry them as part of an agenda to alter religious demographics. However, there is no evidence of any organised conspiracy as claimed.
