Following alleged vandalism at the King George’s Medical University (KGMU) in Lucknow last week, the institution’s joint committee of employees on Monday threatened to stall all outpatient department (OPD) services if the police fail to lodge an FIR within 24 hours over the incident.
The university staff had filed a complaint at the Chowk police station after a scuffle broke out on the campus on January 9 when about 100 people, including BJP leader and vice-chairperson of the Uttar Pradesh Women’s Commission Aparna Yadav, allegedly tried to force their way into Vice-Chancellor Soniya Nityanand’s office.
Ms. Yadav wanted to meet the V-C over the alleged forcible religious conversion and sexual exploitation of two women by a junior resident doctor on the campus.
The police said the accused has been arrested and investigation is ongoing in the matter. Police personnel have been deployed on the campus.
