Tragic Incident at KGMU Involving a Female Resident Doctor
Allegations of Harassment and Suicide Attempt
In a distressing event, a female resident doctor at King George’s Medical University (KGMU) has reportedly attempted suicide, alleging harassment by a male colleague. The doctor claims that she faced emotional exploitation and pressure to convert her religion for marriage after she declined his proposal. Identified as a Hindu woman, she alleges that her colleague, who belongs to the Muslim community, continued to harass her following her refusal.
Father’s Response and Complaints Filed
In response to the incident, the doctor’s father lodged complaints through the Chief Minister’s public grievance portal and with the Uttar Pradesh State Women’s Commission. He contends that his daughter’s suicide attempt was a result of ongoing pressure from her colleague to change her religion.
Details of the Suicide Attempt
The incident occurred on December 17, when the doctor allegedly consumed a significant amount of medication in her hostel room at KGMU. She was promptly taken to the Trauma Centre and later transferred to the Critical Care Management (CCM) ICU for further treatment. As reported by the Times of India, her current condition is stable, and she continues to receive medical care at KGMU.
Background of the Relationship
According to her father’s complaint, the doctor met the male resident in July 2025 while both were studying at KGMU. Their friendship evolved into a romantic relationship, during which the family claims the accused emotionally and physically exploited their daughter under the guise of marriage. Allegations state that as discussions about marriage progressed, he pressured her to convert to Islam.
Impact of the Relationship and Ongoing Harassment
After the doctor reportedly refused to change her religion, the relationship ended, leading to significant mental distress for her. The family asserts that despite the breakup, the male resident continued to harass her, exacerbating her trauma and fear.
KGMU’s Official Statement
KGMU spokesperson KK Singh commented on the situation, stating that the incident was brought to their attention via social media. Following an investigation, it was confirmed that the first-year female student from West Bengal and a male student from Uttaranchal had been involved. Singh noted, “The boy allegedly forced the girl to convert to his religion as she wished to marry him, which led her into depression.”
He added that the girl had previously required psychiatric treatment for her mental health issues, including an overdose of medication. While the family has filed a complaint on the Chief Minister’s portal, KGMU has yet to receive a formal complaint. The Vice-Chancellor has stated that appropriate actions will be taken upon receiving any official complaints.
