Members of a Surat-based doctor's family have filed a petition in the Gujarat High Court, seeking to quash the inclusion of sections from the Gujarat Freedom of Religion Act, 2003, added to an FIR alleging rape against the doctor. The family claims that these additions were made during further investigations and that they have been wrongfully implicated due to their Christian faith. The original FIR, filed in May 2025, accuses the doctor of raping a widow under the pretext of marriage, following a relationship that began during her husband's medical treatment. The complainant alleges that after an unplanned pregnancy and its termination, the doctor distanced himself, leading to further allegations of coercion into converting to Christianity. The petitioners argue that the investigation has conflated separate complaints and that the new charges are an attempt to portray them negatively due to their religious affiliation. They assert that the police acted on a magistrate's order without proper justification, and seek to have the additional charges dismissed.
