A junior resident doctor from King George's Medical University was arrested on Friday after accusations of sexual exploitation, religious conversion, and 'love jihad' emerged. The arrest in Lucknow followed a complaint by a fellow doctor, while the university recommended his dismissal.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Vishwajeet Shrivastav confirmed the evening arrest of the accused, with earlier arrests of his parents. KGMU's Vice-Chancellor, Prof Sonia Nityanand, stated that the accused, Dr Ramizuddin Naik, was suspended in December and barred from campus.

Despite the arrest, right-wing organizations protested, causing disruptions at the university. Internal investigations by KGMU confirmed the allegations, and further actions for the doctor's removal are underway. Tensions continued as various stakeholders voiced concerns over the handling of the case.
