Udit Narayan Accused of ‘Medical Betrayal’ - First Wife Says Her Uterus Was Removed Without Consent

Renowned Bollywood playback singer Udit Narayan is facing a fresh controversy after his first wife, Ranjana Narayan Jha, filed a formal police complaint alleging that her uterus was removed without her knowledge or consent during a medical visit nearly three decades ago - an accusation that has shocked both fans and the wider public. Ranjana, 61, submitted a written complaint on February 10, 2026, at the Women’s Police Station in Supaul district, Bihar, accusing Udit Narayan and members of his family of serious wrongdoing.

According to her statement:

• In 1996, she was allegedly taken to a major hospital in Delhi by Udit, his two brothers — Sanjay Kumar Jha and Lalit Narayan Jha - and his second wife Deepa Narayan under the pretext of medical treatment.
  
• During this visit, Ranjana claims her uterus was removed through a hysterectomy procedure without her knowledge or consent. She says she only discovered the nature of the surgery years later while seeking medical treatment for unrelated health issues.
  
  

Ranjana’s complaint calls the incident a criminal conspiracy and serious violation of bodily autonomy, stating that no proper explanation or consent was given to her at the time. Ranjana says she married Udit Narayan on December 7, 1984, according to Hindu customs, before he moved to Mumbai in 1985 to pursue his career in playback singing. It was during this time that Narayan found success with hits such as those from the 1988 film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak.

She alleges that Narayan later married Deepa Narayan without formally divorcing her, leaving her behind in Bihar and failing to provide the recognition, support, or maintenance she says was promised. Ranjana claims continuous emotional neglect and broken promises over decades. In addition to the forced hysterectomy allegation, her complaint also includes:

• Marital fraud and criminal conspiracy involving Narayan and his family.
  
• Allegations of psychological and physical harassment.
  
• Instances where she says she was humiliated when trying to meet him in Mumbai, and even rejected at in-laws’ homes including in Nepal.
  

She says that despite approaching the Family Court in Supaul and the Women’s Commission earlier, she was ignored and her grievances were left unresolved — prompting this renewed complaint. Station House Officer Anju Tiwari from the Supaul Women’s Police Station has confirmed that a complaint has been received and an investigation is underway. According to multiple reports, a First Information Report (FIR) is expected to be registered after the inquiry progresses.

Authorities have stressed that the matter pertains to alleged actions from the mid-1990s and that due investigation and legal process will determine the facts. The allegations come at a time when Udit Narayan’s public image had already faced scrutiny over unrelated incidents. While his team has not yet issued an official response to these specific claims, the news has triggered widespread discussion online and among media outlets.

National and human rights advocates note that if proven true, such allegations of medical consent violations could have serious legal repercussions under Indian law, which mandate informed consent for surgical procedures. (Legal experts cautioned in general about consent standards - not direct quote from the complaint reporting.) According to biographical sources, Udit Narayan had a long and influential career in Indian cinema, winning awards and acclaim for decades. His personal life has included previous legal friction with Ranjana, including disputes over marital status and financial maintenance.
