The STF investigation was based on two FIRs registered at different police stations in Lucknow, IANS reported. The first FIR was lodged at the Chowk police station on December 23, 2025, against Dr Rameez Malik following a complaint by a resident doctor in the Pathology Department. The second FIR was registered at the Kaiserbagh police station on December 29, 2025, against resident doctor Mohammad Adil. The allegations in both cases remain allegations, and no court has pronounced on them.
IANS reported that the STF report contains accounts of complaints and alleged misconduct connected with the Departments of Pathology, Radiology and Microbiology, besides the Gandhi Ward, and alleges that certain senior faculty members suppressed complaints, supported the accused and subjected complainants to mental harassment instead of ensuring appropriate action. These are claims made in the STF report as reported by the news agency; the individuals concerned have not been convicted of any offence.
The KGMU Executive Council will constitute a six-member inquiry committee to examine the matter, IANS reported. The proposed panel will include the Vice-Chancellor, the Registrar, one teacher from the Scheduled Caste category, one teacher from the Other Backward Classes category, and two members nominated by the Executive Council.
KGMU spokesperson K.K. Singh, speaking to IANS, said the university had taken action in connection with the cases and had itself brought certain other incidents to light. What happens next will depend on the Executive Council committee's inquiry and the departmental proceedings the state government has directed the university to begin.
