LUCKNOW, Dec. 30 -- The KGMU's fact-finding committee, probing allegations of forced religious conversion by a doctor in the department of pathology, was on Monday expanded with the inclusion of two more members - Prof Anju Agarwal, HoD (obstetrics and gynaecology) and Bhavesh Kumar Singh (IPS, and former chairman of the Information Commission). The panel also stated that any incident or evidence related to alleged religious conversion can be shared on the email ID created for the purpose (factfindingcommittee@kgmcindia.edu), according to an official release. The committee now comprises seven members, including chairman Prof KK Singh from the department of surgery; Prof Suresh Kumar, medical superintendent of Gandhi Memorial and Associated Hospitals; Dr RAS Kushwaha, proctor, KGMU; Prof Haider Abbas from the department of emergency medicine and Dr Sumit Rungta, HoD (medical gastroenterology).

The case revolves around a resident doctor accused of coercing a woman doctor to convert. It found that the medical university has 3,995 contractual non-teaching employees, of which 289 are from minority communities. In the pathology department, there are 51 contractual non-teaching employees, of which two are from minority communities. In Point of Care Testing company (POCT), there are 174 contractual non-teaching employees, of which 25 are from minority communities, the committee stated.
