Ashish Srivastava Reports: UP STF Uncovers 'Conversion Mafia' In Medical Colleges

On this Special Report, India Today’s Ashish Srivastava provides details on a massive religious conversion racket allegedly operating within medical colleges in Uttar Pradesh. According to the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), several doctors are under investigation for acting as a 'conversion mafia' targeting students. Ashish Srivastava notes, 'This is a massive level conversion going on in the state of Uttar Pradesh, not only Lucknow, but Kanpur, Basti, Gorakhpur and other districts.' The report highlights that the National Medical Organisation (NMO) has submitted a list of suspects and evidence, including WhatsApp chats, to the STF. The investigation suggests a modus operandi involving social media and private gatherings to radicalise and convert Hindu girls studying in these institutions. The probe follows the arrest of Rameez Malik and mentions links to previous cases in Agra and Faridabad. The STF is currently investigating potential international links and the extent of this white-collar radicalisation network across the state.
