Lucknow, Jun 10: Kashif Jameel, younger brother of Uttar Pradesh’s popular pediatrician Dr Kafeel Khan, was shot at in Gorakhpur by unidentified miscreants on Sunday night.

Jameel, 34, is currently admitted to Star private hospital in Gorakhpur. He sustained three bullet shots--one each on his upper arm, neck and chin.

The shooting took place when Jameel was returning home. Two unidentified attackers, who were chasing him, sprayed him with bullets when he was near Gorakhnath temple, sources said.

"My brother has been shot. I always knew they would try to kill us," said Dr Kafeel Khan, who was with his brother in the hospital, taking him for a CT scan. 

Their brother in law, Samar Khan said, "As of now, we have very little information ourselves. He was on his motorbike when he was shot at."

Dr Kafeel Khan, who shot to fame after the Gorakhpur’s government run BRD medical tragedy when he arranged for oxygen cylinders for children dying in the encephalitis ward with the disruption in oxygen supply last year, was soon made a villain by the Yogi Adityanath led BJP government of Uttar Pradesh and booked as one of the accused in the case.

He was sent to jail in September 2017 and has been released on bail by the high court only recently in April, after the court found no evidence to prove medical negligence on part of Dr Kafeel Khan in dispelling his duties to save the children.

He had recently volunteered to serve in the Nipah virus hit Kerala and was invited by the chief minister of Kerala to offer his services. This was later turned down, just when Dr Kafeel Khan was about to board the flight to Kerala, with some doctors in Kerala opposing Dr Kafeel Khan’s intervention.

Kottayam, Mar 16: A trial court in Kerala  on Monday dismissed a discharge petition filed by Bishop Franco Mulakkal, in connection with the case of alleged rape of a nun in which he is the prime accused.

In his plea filed before the Additional District and Sessions Court I, Mulakkal had claimed that prima facie there was no case to frame charges against him.

Dismissing the plea, the trial court said the bishop should stand for trial in the rape case.

The bishop's lawyer said an appeal would be filed in the High Court against the trial court order.

The prosecution had filed its objection to the plea filed by the bishop, accused of raping and sexually assaulting a nun of the same diocese.

The bishop had filed the plea just ahead of commencement of the preliminary hearing on charges against him in January this year.

The case is based on a complaint filed against the bishop by the nun.

In her complaint to the police in June, 2018, the nun had alleged that she was subjected to sexual abuse by the bishop during the period between 2014 and 2016.

The bishop, who was arrested by the Special Investigation Team which probed the case, has been charged with wrongful confinement, rape, unnatural sex and criminal intimidation.
