The Uttar Pradesh Police on Monday arrested the parents of a resident doctor at King George’s Medical University for alleged forcible religious conversion of two women, The Indian Express reported.

The matter pertains to a complaint filed by another resident doctor from the medical university with the police on December 23. She alleged that the doctor, Rameezuddin, who has been absconding, had started a relationship with her on the pretext of marriage, The Times of India reported.

He also allegedly forced her to terminate her pregnancy.

Another resident doctor at Agra Medical College also accused Rameezuddin of sexual assault, forcible religious conversion and causing a miscarriage.

Based on the complaints, a first information report was filed under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections pertaining to sexual intercourse by employing deceitful means, causing miscarriage without the woman’s consent and criminal intimidation, besides charges related to religious conversion.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishwajeet Srivastava told The Times of India that 70-year-old Salimuddin and 60-year-old Khadija, parents of Rameezuddin, played a key role in the alleged conversion of the two women.

Police teams have been dispatched to trace Rameezuddin after obtaining a non-bailable warrant, The Indian Express reported. The police have also decided to move the court seeking directions to attach his property.

The police have also increased the reward for information about the absconding doctor from Rs 25,000 to Rs 50,000.

King George’s Medical University had suspended him after the complaint was filed on December 23.
