LUCKNOW, Jan. 15 -- The King George's Medical University (KGMU) on Wednesday issued a formal order redesignating faculty in-charge responsibilities in the department of pathology, replacing Prof Wahid Ali from key administrative roles. The move comes amid the religious conversion controversy at the medical university.

He was suspended on December 22, 2025 and later arrested. As per the order issued by vice chancellor Prof Soniya Nityanand, three faculty members have been appointed as faculty in-charge and co-faculty in-charge of chemical pathology, trauma pathology, OPD pathology and the Central Sample Collection Unit located at the PRO office.
