New Delhi: Now the administration has started showing strictness in a sensitive case that has come up in Uttar Pradesh. Preparations are underway to confiscate the properties of a doctor surrounded by allegations of sexual exploitation and forced religious conversion. Police say that the accused has been absconding for a long time and is not coming forward despite repeated notices and warrants; hence, this step has been taken under the law.
According to the complainants, the accused doctor grew close to the women by promising them marriage. Later, pressure was put on him to change his religion. In one case there is also an allegation of abortion. Police say that in the initial investigation the allegations have been found serious and on this basis further action has been intensified.
According to officials, the accused is evading arrest. Even after the non-bailable warrant was issued, he did not come forward. In such a situation, the law allows that attachment proceedings be initiated against the properties of the accused, so that he cannot escape from the investigation and comes within the ambit of the law.
Police have identified several properties belonging to the accused. These are said to include a flat in Lucknow, his ancestral house in Uttar Pradesh, and another property in Uttarakhand. Attachment notices have been pasted at these places. If the accused does not appear within the stipulated time, further action will be taken.
Police say that different teams have been deployed to nab the accused. Possible locations are being raided, and his contacts are also being investigated. A reward has also been announced for information leading to arrest.
If the accused does not surrender within the stipulated time, his properties can be legally confiscated. Also, if more victims come forward during the investigation, the case will become stronger, and the charges may increase.
This case makes it clear that laxity is no longer being done in such serious allegations. The administration's message is clear—action will be intensified against those trying to evade the law, no matter what profession or position they hold.
