Following a directive from the Uttar Pradesh government, King George’s Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow, has decided to launch a probe based on an inquiry report by the Uttar Pradesh Police’s Special Task Force (STF) highlighting the involvement of employees and faculty members in love jihad and religious conversion.
Speaking to The Indian Express, KGMU spokesperson Dr K K Singh said that a committee will be constituted to examine the allegations against the staff and faculty members. “We will place the report before the university’s executive council, after which a committee will be constituted to examine the allegations. The disciplinary committee will assess whether the allegations have merit. All the issues raised in the report will be examined,” Singh said. The executive council meeting is likely to be held next month.
He said that the STF inquiry report was received by the university on Thursday (October 29, 2026). He added that the report did not recommend criminal proceedings against the university employees named in it and referred the matter for disciplinary action.
“There were two cases that came up, one involving Rameez (Rameezuddin Malik) and the other involving a nursing staff member and an impersonator. In Rameez’s case, there was a slight delay of a day or two initially. However, we ourselves uncovered the other two cases. The university exposed them, and action was taken against those involved on our initiative,” Singh said, adding that some faculty members were found involved in misconduct for which disciplinary action will be initiated.

The Yogi Adityanath government had directed the KGMU authorities through a letter dated October 30, 2026, to initiate action against employees named in the STF Inquiry report and submit an action-taken report. The STF report stated that several university employees, including a head of a department, named therein, were found complicit in Love Jihad, forced religious conversion, and other related activities at the university.
The report notes findings on the activities relating to religious conversion and mental and physical harassment of Hindu students and employees, the conduct of certain faculty members and employees, incidents and complaints reported across different KGMU departments, and action taken by concerned authorities on the complaints.
The STF had launched an inquiry into the activities of religious conversion and Love Jihad following complaints related to them that emerged last year. In January this year, the police arrested a resident doctor, Rameezuddin Malik, a junior resident at the Pathology Department of the University, and a medical intern in two separate cases.
Rameezuddin has been named as a main accused in the sexual exploitation and religious conversion activities targeting Hindu female students on the campus. The investigation into the case against him disclosed that he was part of a major conversion network where a reward of ₹15 lakh was introduced for converting medical professionals (doctors) and ₹5 lakh for others.
